by Francesco Petrarca (1304 - 1374)

Amor, che vedi
 (Sung text for setting by R. Dussaut)
 Matches original text
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Amor, che vedi ogni pensero aperto
e i duri passi onde tu sol mi scorgi,
nel fondo del mio cor gli occhi tuoi porgi,
a te palese, a tutt'altri coverto.

Sai quel che per seguirte ò già sofferto:
et tu pur via di poggio in poggio sorgi,
di giorno in giorno, et di me non t'accorgi
che son sí stanco, e 'l sentier m'è troppo erto.

Ben veggio io di lontano il dolce lume
ove per aspre vie mi sproni et giri,
ma non ò come tu da volar piume.

Assai contenti lasci i miei desiri,
pur che ben desïando i' mi consume,
né le dispiaccia che per lei sospiri.
