Vane le mie speranze?

Vane le mie speranze?
Che più sentir si può da. bocca infida?
Infelice quel cor ch' in te si fida
che con voci inumane
mi dicesti, crudel: "Speranze vane!"
Lugubri rimembranze!
Vane le mie speranze!
Troppo vana speranza
prestar fede a colei ch'ad altri ha il guardo,
né val dirgli: "Crudel, sol per te ardo."
La speranza è fallace
e il tuo amor sempre fu meco mendace.
Lugubri rimembranze!
Vane le mie speranze!
Attendi a chi t'inganna,
che ti lascio per l'ultimo adio.
Scaccerà vecchio amor novo desio:
tu con voci inumane
mi dicesti, crudel: "Speranze vane!"
Lugubri rimembranze!
Vane le mie speranze!
