Se ridete gioiose

Se ridete gioiose,
Dolci labbra amorose,
Non sa mostrarne Amore
Pregio d'amor maggiore
In alcun nobil viso,
Che il vostro bel sorriso;
E pur ne mostra Amore
Pregio d'amor maggiore
Nel vostro nobil viso,
Col lampeggiar d'un riso,
Se ridono gioiosi
Gli occhi vostri amorosi.

by Gabriello Chiabrera (1552-1638) , "Loda gli occhi"

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