Amor, io sento l'alma
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Amor, io sento l'alma Tornar nel foco ov'io Fui lieto et più che mai d'arder desio. Io ardo e 'n chiara fiamma Nutrisco il miser core; Et quanto più s'infiamma, Tanto più cresce amore, Perch'ogni mio dolore Nasce dal fuoco ov'io Fui lieto et più che mai d'arder desio.
