Alla luna
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Procedi o canda luna, tutta regina in cielo, nè invidioso velo oltraggi il tuo candor. Tanta dolcezza aduna la luce tua gradita, che all'anima rapita stilla un celeste amor. Lieta colei che quando tu sveli il chiaro viso altrui confida il riso, confida il pianto almen, il lumen tuo mirando soavemente mesta, può riposar la testa sovra un amico sen.
