Vedeste mai sul prato
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Vedeste mai sul prato
cader la pioggia estiva?
Talor la rosa avviva
a la viola appresso;
figlio del prato istesso
è l’uno e l’altro fiore
ed è l’istesso umore
che germogliar gli fa.
Il cor non è cangiato
se accusa o se difende.
Una cagion m’accende
di sdegno e di pietà.

Have you ever seen the summer rain
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
Have you ever seen the summer rain
fall upon the lush meadows?
Perchance it revives the rose,
neighbor to the violet:
each flower is no less the meadow's child
than is the other,
and the very same humor
is what causes them to sprout.
A heart does not change in spirit
whether it accuses or defends;
I am aroused to either scorn or pity
by the selfsame cause.
