Io qui vagando al limitare intorno,
Invan la pioggia invoco e la tempesta.
Acciò che la ritenga al mio soggiorno.

Pure il vento muggìa nella foresta,
E muggìa fra le nubi il tuono errante,
Pria che l'aurora in ciel fosse ridesta.

O care nubi, o cielo, o terra, o piante,
Parte la donna mia: pietà, se trova
Pietà nel mondo un infelice amante.

O turbine, or ti sveglia, or fate prova
Di sommergermi, o nembi, insino a tanto
Che il sole ad altre terre il dì rinnova.

S'apre il ciel, cade il soffio, in ogni canto
Posan l'erbe e le frondi, e m'abbarbaglia
Le luci il crude Sol pregne di pianto.
