by Dante Alighieri (1265 - 1321)

Io mi senti’svegliar dentro a lo core
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Io mi senti’svegliar dentro a lo core
un spirito amoroso che dormia:
e poi vidi venir da lungi Amore
allegro sì, che appena il conosci,
dicendo: “Or pensa pur di farmi onore”;
e ’n ciascuna parola sua ridia.
E poco stando meco il mio signore.
guardando in quella parte onde venia,
io vidi monna Vanna e monna Bice
venire inver lo loco là ‘v’io era,
l’una appresso de l’altra maraviglia;
e sìcome la mente mi ridice,
Amor mi disse: “Quell’è Primavera,
e quell’ha nome Amor, sì mi somiglia”.
