Song Text

Di splendori e di effluvii
Era piena la stanza;
E volavam nel turbine
Di vorticosa danza.

Volavam come tortore
Portate dell’amore;
E sul tuo cor tremavano
Le fibre del mio core.

Ed or te cerco al tacito
Discolorar del giorno;
Te chiamo quando sfolgora
Limpido il sole intorno.

Te sento nella tepida
Aura che spira in maggio;
Te veggo solitario
Delle stelle nel raggio.

Se’ tu, tu sol dell’anima
La luce ed il sorriso;
Delle mie veglie l’estasi,
De’ sogni il paradiso.

Di splendori e di effluvii
Era piena la stanza;
Stringimi al cor nel turbine
Di vorticosa danza.
