On the Walls of Snow

On the Walls of Snow

written by: Giuliana Ravaglia

 

The path climbed up the slope

white hedges of frost
lined the path
while layers of fog furrowed the valley

far away, the city’s diligence
but it was only up there the illusion of infinity

at the ringing of the bells
over the walls of snow the sky opened up
and the light of summer always appeared

Sulle Mura di Neve

written by: Giuliana Ravaglia

 

Saliva il viottolo lungo il pendio

bianche siepi di brina
ne orlavano il cammino
mentre fondi di nebbia solcavano la valle

lontano la solerzia della città
ma era soltanto lassù l’illusione dell’infinito

al rintocco delle campane
sui muri di neve si spalancava il cielo
e sempre appariva la luce dell’ estate
