by Gabriele D'Annunzio (1863 - 1938)

Canto dell'ospite
 (Sung text for setting by L. Sinigaglia)
 Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Si frangono l'acque odorose
con fievole musica al lido;
scintillano l'Orse nel cielo profondo:
un filo di luna sul mar tramontò. 

A tratti da l'aie lontane
mi giungono i canti col vento;
scintillano l'Orse nel cielo profondo:
da presso è Boote che in ciel le guidò. 

Il lento respir de la selva
riempie le pause del mar;
scintillano l'Orse nel cielo profondo:
e il Cigno che l'alma Testiade amò. 

Un brivido corre le vene,
un gelo divino m'invade . . .
scintillano l'Orse nel cielo profondo:
è il segno de l'alba che già si destò.

Composition:

    Set to music by Leone Sinigaglia (1868 - 1944), "Canto dell'ospite", op. 37 no. 1, published 1912, from Tre Canti, no. 1
