Ecco mormorar l'onde
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Ecco mormorar l'onde e tremolar le fronde a l'aura mattutina e gl'arborscelli. E sovra i [verdi]1 rami i vaghi augelli cantar soavemente e rider l'oriente ecco già l'alba appare e si specchia nel mare e rasserena il cielo e [le campagne]1 imperla il dolce gelo e gl'alti monti indora. O bella e vagh'aurora l'aura è tua messagiera, e tu de l'aura ch'ogn'arso cor ristaura.
