by Cino da Pistoia (1270 - 1337)

Giovane bella, luce del mio core
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Giovane bella, luce del mio core,
Perchè mi celi l'amoroso viso?
Tu sai che 'l dolce riso
E gli occhi tuoi mi fan sentire amore.
Sento nel core tanto di dolcezza,
Quando ti son davante,
Ch'io veggio quel ch'Amor di te ragiona.
Ma, poi che privo son di tua bellezza,
E de' tuoi be' sembianti,
Provo dolor che mai non m'abbandona.
Però chiedendo vo la tua persona,
Disioso di quella chiara luce
Che sempre mi conduce
Fidel soggetto de lo tuo splendore.
