possibly by Giuseppe Pessina (1860 - 1919) and by P. Joe

Serenata
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Mormorante di tenero desio
langue lontan la mesta serenata,
ma s'arresta il canto mio
a la gelida soglia del mio cor.

"Bianca fata, non vi scuote
la cadenza addolorata?
Non vi portan le mie note
come un'onda di sospir?

O mia bianca idolatrata,
di chi sognate, ohimè! di chi sognate?
Fremo e canto e di dolor
culla i vostri sogni d'or la serenata!"

Note (provided by Andrew Schneider) : according to Francesco Cilea: Composizioni vocali da camera (Ricordi), P. Joe may be a pseudonym of Giuseppe Pessina.
