by Carmelo Errico (1848 - 1892)
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Io ti seguii come iride di pace Lungo le vie del cielo: Io ti seguii come un'amica face De la notte nel velo. E ti sentii ne la luce, ne l'aria, Nel profumo dei fiori; E fu piena la stanza solitaria Di te, dei tuoi splendori. In te rapito, al suon de la tua voce, Lungamente sognai; E de la terra ogni affanno, ogni croce, In quel giorno scordai. Torna, caro ideal, torna un istante A sorridermi ancora, E a me risplenderà, nel tuo sembiante, Una novella aurora.
