L'invocazione
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Ombra del mio tesoro
che intorno a me t'aggiri,
ah! torna mi a dir: T'adoro,
di' che per me sospiri,
e allor vedrò sereno
tornar il ciel per me.
Poi giunta in paradiso,
pensando all'amor mio,
quel tuo celeste viso
rivolgi al sommo Iddio
e pregalo ch'io venga
in cielo a star con te.
