Ahi dispietata morte, ahi crudel vita!
Language:
Italian
Amor, quando fioria mia spene,
e 'l guidardon di tanta fede,
tolta m'è quella ond'attendea mercede.
Ahi dispietata morte, ahi crudel vita!
L'una m'à posto in doglia,
et mie speranze acerbamente à spente;
l'altra mi tèn qua giú contra mia voglia,
et lei che se n'è gita
seguir non posso, ch'ella nol consente.
Ma pur ogni or presente
nel mezzo del meo cor madonna siede,
et qual è la mia vita, ella sel vede.
Input by Alberto Pedrotti
