Felice primavera
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Felice primavera Di bei pensier fiorisce nel mio core Novo lauro d'amore A cui ride la terra e il ciel d'intorno, E di bel manto adorno Di giacinti e viole il Po si veste: Danzan le ninfe oneste e i pastorelli E i susurranti augelli in fra le fronde Al mormorar de l'onde: e vaghi fiori Donan le Grazie a i pargoletti Amori.
