Ah! non credea mirarti

Ah! non credea mirarti
Sì presto estinto, o fiore;
Passasti al par d'amore,
Che un giorno sol durò.

Potria novel vigore
Il pianto mio recarti...
Ma ravvivar l'amore
Il pianto mio non può.

Allegro moderato

Ah! non giunge uman pensiero
Al contento ond'io son piena:
A' miei sensi io credo appena;
Tu m'affida, o mio tesor.
Ah mi abbraccia, e sempre insieme
Sempre uniti in una speme,
Della terra in cui viviamo
Ci formiamo un ciel d'amor.

by Felice Romani (1788-1865)
