by Thomas Moore (1779 - 1852)
When through the Piazzetta
Language: English
When through the Piazzetta Night breathes her cool air, Then, dearest Ninetta, I'll come to thee there. Beneath thy mask shrouded, I'll know thee afar, As Love knows, though clouded, his own Evening Star. In garb, then, resembling Some gay gondolier, I'll whisper thee, trembling, Our bark, love, is near: Now, now, while there hover those clouds o'er the moon, 'Twill waft thee safe over yon silent Lagoon."
