The stars, these white pearls
From an invisible necklace,
Slide among the black branches,
And the crowd on the long staircase
Makes all these lights tremble
br/>And seems, in this almost blue evening,
To turn for eternal rosaries
The beads of a rosary of fire.
The stars lean towards the earth,
The candles rise towards the heavens,
To confuse in the mystery
Their silent trembling.
All these flickering lights
The embalmed air blooms,
But the two slow processions
Will never meet...
And in a light, ancient song,
Abandoning, denying the father,
Mingling with stars their sorrow.
Litany of the priests on earth...
