[New-Poetry] SPRING

[Anny Ballardini]

By honoring Ezra Pound and Olga Rudge who were instrumental in Vivaldi's
revival, I am forwarding the present call for poems for the Spring
collection.

*La Primavera* *Spring*

*Allegro*
Giunt' è la Primavera e festosetti
La Salutan gl' Augei con lieto canto,
E i fonti allo Spirar de' Zeffiretti
Con dolce mormorio Scorrono intanto:
Vengon' coprendo l' aer di nero amanto
E Lampi, e tuoni ad annuntiarla eletti
Indi tacendo questi, gl' Augelletti;
Tornan' di nuovo al lor canoro incanto:

*Largo*
E quindi sul fiorito ameno prato
Al caro mormorio di fronde e piante
Dorme 'l Caprar col fido can' à lato.

*Allegro*
Di pastoral Zampogna al suon festante
Danzan Ninfe e Pastor nel tetto amato
Di primavera all' apparir brillante.



*Spring*

*Allegro*
Springtime is upon us.
The birds celebrate her return with festive song,
and murmuring streams are softly caressed by the breezes.
Thunderstorms, those heralds of Spring, roar, casting their dark mantle over
heaven,
Then they die away to silence, and the birds take up their charming songs
once more.

*Largo*
On the flower-strewn meadow, with leafy branches rustling overhead, the
goat-herd sleeps, his faithful dog beside him.

*Allegro*
Led by the festive sound of rustic bagpipes, nymphs and shepherds lightly
dance beneath the brilliant canopy of spring.
