by Carmelo Pujia (1852 - 1937)

Maria‑Mare
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Corre l'anima mia
come desiosa onda di fiume;
corre verso di Te, Maria,
mare che tutti accogli,
in un immenso palpito,
i sospiranti amor.

Ora sommessa e cheta
va l'onda profonda
per la fiorita
della primavera
piana campagna,
e, del lento cammino infastidita,
geme e si lagna;

e or, spumeggiando altèra,
tra i sassi che le cedono s'avanza.
Così questo dell'anima cammino
non vuole, non domanda, non sospira,
in un amor divino,
che Te, mar di riposo,
 oh dolce Maria mia!
