Luci serene e chiare See original
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Luci serene e chiare, Voi m'incendete, voi, ma prov'il core Nell'incendio diletto, non dolore. Dolci parole e care, Voi mi ferite, voi, ma prov'il petto Non dolor ne la piaga, ma diletto. O miracol d'Amore! Alma ch'è tutta foco e tutta sange Si strugg'e non si duol, muor e non langue.
