Valli nemiche al sol, superbe rupi | |||
che minacciate al ciel, profonde grotte, | |||
d'onde non parton mai silenzio e notte: | |||
aer, che gl'occhi d'atra nebbia occupi; | |||
precipitati sassi, alti dirupi, | |||
ossa insepolte, erbose mura e rotte, | |||
d'uomini albergo, ed ora a tal condotte, | |||
che temono ir fra voi serpenti e lupi. | |||
Erme campagne, abbandonati lidi, | |||
ove mai voce d'uom l'aria non fiede: | |||
ombra son io dannata a pianto eterno, | |||
ch'a pianger vengo la mia morta fede, | |||
e spero, al suon de' disperati stridi, | |||
se non si piega il ciel, mover l'inferno!}} | |||

{{translation|English| | |||
Valleys inimical to the sun, high cliffs | |||
that menace the sky, fathomless caves | |||
from which silence and night never leave, | |||
air, that clouds the eyes with Stygian fog. | |||
Precipitous rocks, fallen precipices, | |||
disinterred bones, broken and overgrown walls, | |||
shelter for men and now what as led me to such | |||
that serpents and wolves among you fear to go. | |||
Lonely fields, abandoned shores, | |||
where the voice of man never is heard: | |||
I am the shadow damned to eternal lament, | |||
who weeping comes with my dead faith, | |||
and I hope, among the sounds of desperate cries, | |||
if heaven bends not, then to move hell!}} | |||
