Notturno
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Su' cespugli, vezzose, In un sopor beato Si chinan le rose; L'usignolo, celato Tra le foglie rugiadose, Gorgheggia innamorato. O, che dolce mistero, Che fascino gentile Pe'l tiepido sentiero!... Vieni, a ninfa simile, Col passo tuo leggero Tra li aliti d'aprile; E un bel nido fiorente, Una capanna bruna Míaccoglierà silente. A la dolce fortuna, Col raggio pi` lucente, Sorriderà la luna!...
