Barcarola

Dante Gabriel Rossetti 1828 (London) – 1882 (Birchington-on-Sea)



PER carità,
Mostrami amore:
Mi punge il cuore,
Ma non si sa
Dove è amore.
Che mi fa
La bella età,
Sè non si sa
Come amerà?
Ahi me solingo!
Il cuor mi stringo!
Non più ramingo,
Per carità!
Per carità,
Mostra mi il cielo:
Tutto è un velo,
E non si sa
Dove è il cielo.
Se si sta
Così colà,
Non si sa
Se non si va.
Ahi me lontano!
Tutto è in vano!
Prendimi in mano,
Per carità!
