Lasciati amar

Language: Italian

Forse in fondo al tuo core
(Non lo negar!),
Come un raggio d'amore,
Sta per spuntar.
È UN MOTO STRANO,
Un senso arcano,
Che un nuovo palpito fa in te vibrar!
Come un'alba novella
Surge per te,
Tutto intorno s'abbella
né sai perché!
Tutto è fiorito,
E il cor smarrito
Non sa se gaudio o duolo egli è
DAL SOGNO TUO NOVELLO
Lasciati alfin cullar,
Schiudi le braccia
D'amore in traccia,
L'amore è bello, lasciati amar!
