Brillava in sulla sera Un fiorellin d’estate Che visto in sul mattin dicea: sperate! Fresco, olezzante egli era Da mane a sera. Pria di morir mi disse: Ricordati di me! Quel fiorellino amato Con amoroso accento Mi ripetea più volte il suo lamento. Bello e gentile egli era Di primavera. Pria di morir mi disse: Ricordati di me!
