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

Il nome di Maria
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
  Non per tempo che passio lunga via
che da te mi divida o m'allontani,
non per mutarsi de gli eventi umani
potró dimenticarti, anima mia;

  e ne lo spasimar de l'agonia,
giunto a la sera che non ha domani,
pensando a questi di fatti lontani
il nome tuo singhiozzeró, Maria.

  E diranno di me: l'ora de 'l pianto 
ecco vinse il ribêlle; ecco l'aiuto 
chiese d'un nome benedetto e santo. 

  Ma no. Su 'l letto funeral caduto 
quel doce nome lo dirò solanto 
in memoria de 'l ben che m'hai voluto.
