Recitatief

by Vladimir Mendelssohn

1. Ah m'abbandoni, empia fortuna  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Ah m'abbandoni, empia fortuna, e teco
Anche l'ardir. Tutto or pavento, e parmi
Un testimonio ogni ombra,
Ogni voce un'accusa. Ah donde mai
Tanta viltà! Da qual stupore oppresso
Non posso in me più ritrovar me stesso!

3. In questa selva oscura 
 (Sung text)

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
In questa selva oscura
Entrai, poc' anzi ardito;
Or nel cammin smarrito
Timido errando io vo.

Un sol non m'assicura
Raggio di stella amica;
E par che il cor mi dica
Che qui perir dovrò.
