Dawn in Arquà - ZaunköniG - 17.08.2007 Dawn in Arquà Inscribed to the memory of Petrarca Obiit July 18, 1374 Sick of mere Fame, and of Rome's Laureate leaf His Latin Epic brougt him, up he went To steep Arqueto, where he found content Among the Euganean Hills - alas, too brief! His was an irremediable grief: That heart so loved, that head so opulent Of gold, were long since dust ... Silent he bent Above those Sonnets in that Golden Sheaf. Far into midnight, lone he sat, and read The Rimè once again - oh, bitterest tears By age, for love all unrequited, shed! - Then in that volume slowly sank his head; Thus, in the mountain cottage, bowed with years, Ar early morn they found him, cold and dead. |
