by Ferdinando Busoni (1834 - 1909)

Il fiore del pensiero
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
   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!
