Vorrei cangiarmi in ape

Vorrei cangiarmi in ape
Per suggere il tuo core,
E insieme gustar l’estasi
D’un puro intenso amore;

Vorrei col mio sospiro
Il tuo sospir libare;
Corpo, sensi, ed anima
Tutto di te aspirare. 

Qual tenerezza e quanta
Abbonda nel mio petto!
Solo nel cielo gli angeli
Inebria un tanto affetto!

E se con te dividerlo
In terra mi fia dato
Non curerò le innumeri
Delizie del creato!
