by Pier Ambrogio Curti (1819 - 1899)

Perchè soave immagine
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Perchè soave immagine
Che né miei sogni io miro
Di tutte cose immemore
Or sempre a te sospiro?

E quando io l'oso chiedere 
al combattuto cor,
Perchè non sa rispondere
se è gioja o pur dolor?

Ah! non sei tu quell'angelo
Che mi vegliò la culla
Che mi baciò nei rosei sogni in età fanciulla
E lieto del mio gaudio
Eristo del mio dolor 
solo di pace all'anima mi favellava allor.

La voluttà recondita
Che il tuo pensier mi lascia 
Che sorge da letizia mi sta ad arcana ambascia.
Ahi! quella pace involami che m'allegrò finor
E forse il primo palpito
La voce dell'amor.
