L'abbandono
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG GER
Solitario zeffiretto,
a che movi i tuoi sospiri?
Il sospiro a me sol lice,
ché, dolente ed infelice,
chiamo Dafne che non ode
l'insoffribil mio martir.

Langue invan la mammoletta
e la rosa e il gelsomino;
lunge son da lui che adoro,
non conosco alcun ristoro
se non viene a consolarmi
col bel guardo cilestrino.

Ape industre, che vagando
sempre vai di fior in fiore,
ascolta, ascolta.

Se lo scorgi ov'ei dimora,
di' che rieda a chi l'adora,
come riedi tu nel seno
delle rose al primo albor.

Note for stanza 1, line 5, word 2 ("Dafne") [sic]. This should probably be "Dafni", a man's name, but we do not know where the error first appeared -- in the original text or in the score.
