by Francesco Petrarca (1304 - 1374)

Stiamo, Amor 
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Stiamo, Amor, a veder la gloria nostra,
cose sopra natura altere et nove:
vedi ben quanta in lei dolcezza piove,
vedi lume che 'l cielo in terra mostra,

vedi quant'arte dora e 'mperla e 'nostra
l'abito electo, et mai non visto altrove,
che dolcemente i piedi et gli occhi move
per questa di bei colli ombrosa chiostra.

L'erbetta verde e i fior' di color' mille
sparsi sotto quel' elce antiqua et negra
pregan pur che 'l bel pe' li prema o tocchi;

e 'l ciel di vaghe et lucide faville
s'accende intorno, e 'n vista si rallegra
d'esser fatto seren da sí belli occhi.
