Tacciono i boschi
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Tacciono i boschi e i fiumi, E 'l mar senza onda giace, Ne le spelonche i venti han tregua e pace, E ne la notte bruna Alto silenzio fa la bianca luna: E noi teniamo ascose Le dolcezze amorose: Amor non parli o spiri, Sien muti i baci e muti i miei sospiri.
