by Giovanni Ruffini (1807 - 1881)
Bella siccome un angelo
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Bella siccome un angelo in terra pellegrino, fresca siccome il giglio che s'apre in sul mattino, occhio che parla e ride, sguardo che i cor conquide. Chioma che vince l'ebano sorriso incantator. Alma innocente e candida, che sé medesma ignora; modestia impareggiabile, dolcezza che innamora; ai miseri pietosa, gentil, buona, amorosa. Il ciel l'ha fatta nascere per far beato un cor.
