Povero core
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
O mio povero cor, morta è la pace,
Morto è l'amor, di novo a che sussulti?
Morta è la fede; a che più la vorace
Fiamma di vita nel tuo grembo occulti?
O mio povero cor, quando più tace
La fredda notte e dei patiti insulti
Grave su te la rimembranza giace,
Udirmi sembra i tuoi sordi singulti.
O mio povero cor, fossi tu morto!
Così di gel così d'angoscia stretto
Onde vuo' tu sperar gioia o conforto?
O mio povero cor, non rinvenire;
O mio povero cor del chiuso petto
Fatti una tomba e lasciati morire!
