by Girolamo Maria Francesco Matteo Savonarola (1452 - 1498)
Preghiera di Fra Girolamo Savonarola
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Tutto sei, dolce Iddio, Signore eterno! Lume, conforto, e vita del mio core! Quanto più ti ascolto, allor discerno Che l'allegrezza è senza te dolore. Se tu non fossi il ciel sarebbe inferno; Chè chi non vive teco sempre muore. Tu sei quel vero, sommo ben perfetto Senza il qual torna in pianto ogni diletto. Tutto sei, dolce Iddio, Signore eterno!
