by Antonio Ghislanzoni (1824 - 1893)
Ad una morta!
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Spirto gentil, dal carcere terreno assunto ai cieli, in qual astro ti celi, ove t’aggiri tu? Saper vorrei qual sia la forma tua novella, saper se in ciel sei bella qual eri un dì quaggiù; Saper vorrei se gli angeli dell’amor tuo consoli, se per siderei, pei siderei voli i vanni Iddio ti diè. Ah! dimmi almen se assorta dei cieli ai gaudii immensi, a me talor ripensi com’io ripenso a te!
