Io mi rivolgo indietro
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Io mi rivolgo indietro a ciascun passo Col corpo stanco Ch'a gran pena porto. E prend'alor del vostro aere conforto, Ch'el fa gir oltra Dicend'ahi me, lasso! Poi ripensando al dolce ben ch'io lasso Al cammin lungo ed al mio viver corto. Fermo le piante sbigottito e smorto E gli occhi in terra lagrimando abasso.
