Al partir del mio sole

Al partir del mio Sole 
Pianse la vista sua, la vita mia, 
Ch'al suo duro partir da me partia. 
Hor ch'egli torna i' canto, 
E con la rimembranza di quel giorno
Sì pien d'amaro pianto, 
Raddolcisco la gioia del ritorno. 
O felice partita,
Che fai più cara col morir la vita.

by Giovanni Battista Guarini (1538-1612)
