by Giovanni Boccaccio (1313 - 1375)
L'udir talvolta
Language: Italian (Italiano)
L'udir talvolta nominare il loco Dove dimori, o talvolta vedere Chi di là venga, mi riaccende il fuoco Nel cor mancato per troppo dolere. E par ch'io senta alcun nascoso gioco Nell'anima legata dal piacere, E meco dico: quindi venissi io Onde quel viene, o dolce mio disio!...
