Vaghissima sembianza
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Available translation(s):  ENG SPA
Vaghissima sembianza d'antica donna amata,   
chi, dunque, v'ha ritratta contanta simiglianza         
ch'io guardo, e parlo, e credo d'avervi a me            
davanti come ai bei dì d'amor?                  

La cara rimembranza che in cor mi s'è destata           
si ardente v'ha già fatta rinascer la speranza,         
che un bacio, un voto, un grido d'amore                 
più non chiedo che a lei che muta è ognor.
