Mater Dolorosa

            The swan-necked head lay on the white cushions, silver fence, and a gentle smile hovered in his eyes, the cheeks still smooth, the mouth serene. Not even a sigh or a moan revealed the long ordeal of a lifetime: the little hand was looking for my head in a silent caress of blessing. "Why - he asked me - is your face pale?" » Surprised, I remained silent. But he didn't insist. And the warm breath of his sweet affection even of every pain it soothed the torment. Now I search for the scant words, but in vain, my lost Mother, the light caresses and, deep down in the secret of my soul, the clear light of your blind eyes. 

Poetry by 
Lea Luzzati Segre Sorrowful Mother

Giaceva la testa dal collo di cigno
sui bianchi cuscini, recinta d'argento,
e mite un sorriso su gli occhi aleggiava,
le gote ancor lisce, la bocca serena.
Neppure un sospiro svelava o un lamento
il lungo calvario di tutta una vita:
la piccola mano cercava il mio capo
in muta carezza di benedizione.
« Perché - mi chiedeva - hai pallido il 'viso? »
Stupita tacevo. Ma non insisteva.
E l'alito caldo del dolce suo affetto
pur d'ogni dolore leniva il tormento.
Or cerco le scarne parole, ma invano,
mia Mamma perduta, le lievi carezze
e, in fondo al segreto dell'anima mia,
la limpida luce degli occhi tuoi ciechi.
