E l'uccellino

E l'uccellino canta sulla fronda:
Dormi tranquillo, boccuccia d'amore:
Piegala giù quella testina bionda,
Della tua mamma posala sul cuore.
E l'uccellino canta su quel ramo:
Tante cosine belle imparerai,
Ma se vorrai conoscer quant'io t'amo,
Nessuno al mondo potrà dirlo mai!
E l'uccellino canta al ciel sereno:
Dormi, tesoro mio, qui sul mio seno.

by Renato Fucini (1843-1921)
