Il giglio
Language: Italian (Italiano)
D’un caro affetto all’aura cresciuto, o nobil fiore, puro siccome l’alito soave dell’amore. Su te vegliò l’assidua man della fida sposa, e tua virtude ascosa di speme in lei parlò. Su te vegliò, ecc. Sin ne’ deserti candido schiudi olezzante il seno, t’imperlo d’una lacrima che piove il ciel sereno. Lieve ti baci un zeffiro che al tuo favor s’inclina, carreggi la divina luce che ti scaldò. Careggi la divina, ecc.
