by Giosuè Carducci (1835 - 1907)

Primavera classica
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Da i verdi umidi margini
La vïoletta odora,
Il mandorlo s’infiora,
Trillan gli augelli a vol.

Fresco ed azzurro l’aere
Sorride in tutti i seni:
Io chiedo a’ tuoi sereni
Occhi un piú caro sol.

Che importa a me de gli aliti
Di mammola non tócca?
Ne la tua dolce bocca
Freme un piú vivo fior.

Che importa a me del garrulo
Di fronde e augei concento?
Oh che divino accento
Ha su’ tuoi labbri amor!

Auliscan pur le rosee
Chiome de gli arboscelli:
L’onda de’ tuoi capelli,
Cara, disciogli tu.

M’asconda ella gl’inanimi
Fiori del giovin anno:
Essi ritorneranno,
Tu non ritorni piú.

Confirmed with Poesie di Giosuè Carducci, Fifth edition, Bologna, ditta Nicola Zanichelli, 1906, pages 589-590.

This poem inspired a French poem by Charles Dubois called Printemps.
