This beautiful poem is by Salvatore Quasimodo, an Italian hermetic poet. Here the verse roughly translated according to my taste:

Labour of love, sadness, you evoke a life that lies deep down inside and has names of skies and gardens.

And were my flesh which transforms the gift of sorrow.

[EyesOnly2]

Fatica d'amore, tristezza,

tu chiami una vita

che dentro, profonda, ha nomi

di cieli e giardini.

E fosse mia carne

che il dono di male trasforma. Fatigue of love, sadness, You call a life That inside, deep, names Skies and gardens. It was my flesh That the gift wrong turns.
