by Gabriele D'Annunzio (1863 - 1938)

Vorrei
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Vorrei, allor che tu pallido e muto
pieghi la fronte tra le mani e pensi,
e ti splendon su l'animo abbattuto
i vani sogni e i desiderî immensi:

Vorrei per incantesimi d'amore
pianamente venire a 'l tuo richiamo,
e, su di te piegando come un fiore,
con dolce voce susurrarti: Io t'amo!

Vorrei di tutte le mie sciolte chiome
cingerti con lentissima carezza,
e sentirmi da te chiamare a nome,
vederti folle de la mia bellezza.

Vorrei per incantesimi d'amore
pianamente venire a 'l tuo richiamo,
e, su di te piegando come un fiore,
con dolce voce susurrarti: Io t'amo!
