La tiranna (Wennington, set by L. Beethoven) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Ah grief to think! Ah woe to name,
The doom that fate has destin'd mine!
Forbid to fan my wayward flame,
Ad, slave to silience, hopeless pine!
Imperious fair! In fatal hour,
I mark'd the vivid lightning, roll.
That gave to know thy ruthless pow'r,
And gleam'd desctrucion on my soul!
