Un figlio! che posa nel letto
suo vergine! e cerca assetato
le fonti del vergine petto!
O figlio d'un intimo riso
dell'anima! o fiore non nato
da seme, e sbocciato improvviso!
Tu fiore non retto da stelo,
tu luce non nata da fuoco,
tu simile a stella del cielo;
dal cielo dell'anima, ov'ora
sbocciasti improvviso, tra poco
tu dileguerai nell'aurora.
In tanto tu vivi per una
breve ora; in un'anima, in tanto,
di vergine: in quella tua cuna
tu piangi il tuo tacito pianto.

    Set to music by Guido Alberto Fano (1875 - 1961), no title, 1913 [ voice and piano ], from Il sogno della vergine, no. 3
