by Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi (1698 - 1782), as Pietro Metastasio
L'onda dal mar divisa
Language: Italian (Italiano)
L'onda dal mar divisa Bagna la valle e'l monte, Va passeggera In fiume, Va prigioniera In fonte, Mormora sempre e geme Fin che non torna al mar: Al mar, dov' ella nacque, Dove acquistò gli umori Dove da'lunghi errori Spera di riposar.
