Italian term or phrase: a poem by Eugenio Montale

I'm trying to find out if the following poem "Palio" by Montale has been translated -- and, of course, the translation. If you have a copy of this, please let me know who the translator is.
PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ME YOUR OWN TRANSLATION. THE TEXT IS NOT THE PROBLEM.

Dalla torre
cade un suono di bronzo: la sfilata
prosegue fra tamburi che ribattono
a gloria di contrade...
... e lo stupore che invade la conchiglia
del Campo...
E' un volo! E tu dimentica! Dimentica la morte.

There is a piece of the poem in this page in English about the Palio. You might write to whoever prepared the page and find out if they got it from a published translation.
