Rosa
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Our translations: ENG
Una povera rosa è rinserrata Nel tuo piccolo libro di preghiera: Una povera rosa di brughiera Che la lunga stagione ha disseccata. Chi te l'ha dato quel mesto fiore? Qual ti rammenta sogno gentil? "Ahi," tu rispondi, "Fugge l'amore! Fuggon le splendide sere d'april!" Or muta la contempli, e, d'improvviso, Ti si vela di pianto la pupilla: Or, la baci, tremando, e disfavilla Su la tua fronte, un vivido sorriso!
