Ad una stella
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Stella gentil, che a sera Corri le vie del cielo, Segreta messaggera Vuoi farti al nostro amor? Saresti eternamente L'amica piú [fedel]1, La nostra confidente Nel riso e nel dolor. Tu sai, soave stella, Com'io, pensoso e triste, Sospiri ognor, ed ella M'aspetti e pianga ognor. Deh! Se la vedi, a lei Dí mille dolci cose E mille ancor. Oh, sei L'astro del nostro amor!
