Hello.

There's a nice English translation under the title "The Girl-Child of
Pompei" as the third poem on this web page:
Primo Levi, Poems, hosted by brynmawr.edu:
http://www.brynmawr.edu/Acads/Langs/italian/holoc/poems.htm

There's also a translation, again under the title "The Girl-Child of
Pompei," near the bottom of this MSN group web page (the second to
last poem on the page):
http://groups.msn.com/DavidBlaineMagicMan/dbsbooklist.msnw?action=get_message&mview=0&ID_Message=22325&LastModified=4675402915060734897

----------
search strategy:
I found the Italian text on this page:
http://lists.peacelink.it/pcknews/msg03890.html

I then picked out a phrase from the poem ("Agonia senza fine") that I
thought could only be translated one way (i.e., "Agony without end")
and then searched:
"primo levi", "agony without end"

I hope this helps.
