Il fiore del pensiero

Brillava in sulla sera und fiorellin d'estate,
che visto in sul mattino 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, gentile egli era
di primavera.
Pria di morir mi disse: ricordati di me!
