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!
