Un desiderio
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Vorrei col vol de l' aquila Levar lo spirto anelo A spaziar pe' lucidi Campi del vasto cielo; Libera al par de l' aria, Un solo istante almen, Vorrei slanciarmi a vivere De l' infinito in sen ! Se in una stella scegliere Dovessi mai dimora, Non sceglierei la splendida Foriera de l' aurora ; Ma in sen di un astro incognito Al mortal guardo ancor, Vorrei romita accogliermi, Vivervi ascosa ognor.
