Notturno secondo
 (Sung text for setting by C. Rossaro)
 Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Riapri, o cara, il cerulo, 
L’angelico tuo sguardo.              

Ecco del grigio scheletro 
Il fantasma beffardo
Dalla parete livida 
Nell’ombra dileguò.

Poi che cessato è il turbine, 
E come al primo albore
Doman la rosa e il giglio 
Risorgeranno, il fiore 

De’ giorni tuoi risorgere 
Poi che così vedrò;
Cara, lo sguardo cerulo
Riapri alla speranza.

Parve una tomba; or tempio
Di pace è la tua stanza;
Fu negli abissi; all’etere 
La stella tua tornò.
