by Ada Negri (1870 - 1945)

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!...
