by Carmelo Errico (1848 - 1892)

Guardarti sempre. Rapita l'anima
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Guardarti sempre. Rapita l'anima
De la tua voce molla ne l'onda,
Sopra il tuo seno chiuder le palpebre
E per l'azuro con te nuotar:
Nuotare in cerca d'ignota sponda,
Lungi dagl'uomini tra cielo e mar.

Tra cielo e mare, nel cerchio candido
De le tue braccia, pallida fata,
Solo una volta sentirmi chiudere
E il tuo respiro dolce aspirar:
Solo una volta la sospirata tua bocca,
Trepido, vorrei baciar.
