Come il candore
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Come il candore
D'intatta neve
È d'un bel core
La fedeltà.
Un'orma sola
Che in sé riceve
Tutta ne invola
La sua beltà.

How the purity
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
How the purity
of an undisturbed patch of snow
is like a loving heart's
faithfulness!
It takes only one footprint
to rob it of all
that is beautiful.
