Ad una rosa
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Sei divelta o vaga rosa, sei vicina ad appassir; eppur lieta, avventurosa quanto sei nel tuo morir! Ei t'appressa ai labbri suoi con un tacito sospir; ah bearti almen tu puoi del soave suo respir. Qual del sole ai divi ardori tu risenti estremo amor, ma in quel soffio ti scolori, e morrai sovra il suo cor.
