by Olindo Guerrini (1845 - 1916), as Lorenzo Stecchetti

Ci siamo amati in faccia al sol...
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Ci siamo amati in faccia al sol raggiante
Nel giugno azzurro tra le spiche bionde:
Quelle quercie laggiù steser le fronde
Sopra le audacie tue, gentil baccante.

Le parole più dolci e le più sante
Ce le dicemmo tutte, e le gioconde
Arti di voluttà ch’altri nasconde
Noi le mostrammo tutte al dì fiammante.

Ma l’autunno tornò, ma in largo stuolo
Tornano i corvi, ed alle selve usate,
Dove salimmo insiem, ritorno solo:

Ma dal vento d’ottobre assiderate
Cadon le foglie delle quercie al suolo...
Ahi, l’amor tuo durò quanto l’estate!
