    Cartolina Ricordo Per I feriti in guerra
    Nella triste corsia dell'Ospedale, in mezzo al duol ch'ovunque si diffonde, veglia la buona dama al capezzale col volto lieto che'l cordoglio asconde, e con intensa, soavissima premura reca al ferito la prescritta cura.

    Remembrance Postcard For the wounded in war
    In the sad hospital room, in the midst of pain that spreads everywhere, the good lady watches by the bedside with a happy face that hides her sorrow, and with intense, very delicate attention, carries to the wounded the prescribed care.
