by Olindo Guerrini (1845 - 1916), as Lorenzo Stecchetti
Donna, vorrei morir, ma confortato
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Donna, vorrei morir, ma confortato Dall'onesto tuo amor; Sentirmi almeno una sol volta amato Senza averne rossor. Vorrei poterti dar quel po' che resta Della mia gioventù; Sovra l'omero tuo piegar la testa E non destarmi più.
