Piangi, tu che hai nei grandi occhi la mia (Annunzio, set by F. Tosti) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Piangi, tu che hai nei grandi occhi la mia
anima ed in cui palpita il mio cuore
segreto, o tu, sorella del Dolore,
sorella de la Sera, unica mia.

Per consolarmi in ore di tristezza
io ti creai de la più pura essenza,
fantasma immarcescibile, ma senza
consolare la mia vera tristezza!
