Hor che lungi da voi

Hor che lungi da voi
Muovo, bei lumi, ov'ha riposto Amore
Il più caro e 'l più bel de' lumi suoi
Chi da conforto al core?
Ahi che languire, ahi che perir il sento!
Lasso! ben gran tormento
È sostener, amand' orgogli ed ire;
Ma chi disse partir, disse morire.

by Gabriello Chiabrera (1552-1638) , "Chi essendo lontano dalla sua donna, soffre gran pene, ma che desidera e spera di rivederla"

Musical settings (art songs, Lieder, mélodies, (etc.), choral pieces, and other vocal works set to this text), listed by composer (not necessarily exhaustive)
