by Giuseppina Guacci (1807 - 1848)

Il sogno
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Sognava, o mia diletta,
Sognai ch'io t'era accanto,
Che al sen t'avea ristretta,
Che univa il nostro pianto,
Scordava ogni mia guerra,
Scordava e cielo e terra,
Pregava, oh! Fosse questo
Per me l'estremo dì.

Quegli occhi disiati
Vidi brillar d'amore,
io vidi, e gl'infiammati
desir m'ardean il core.
Quella celeste idea
Il sonno mi rompea.

Ahi! Mi tornò funesto
Il sol che il giorno aprì.
