Original text and translations
Italian text
- Ombra cara, amorosa,
- Ah! perché mai
- Tu corri al tuo riposo,
- Ed io qui resto?
- Tu tranquilla godrai
- Nelle sedi beate,
- Ove non giunge
- Nè sdegno,
- Nè dolor;
- Do ve ricopre ogni cura mortale
- Eterno obblìo,
- Nè più rammenterai,
- Fra gli amplessi paterni
- Il pianto mio,
- Nè questo
- Di dolor soggiorno infesto.
- Io resto sempre a piangere
- Dove mi guida ognor,
- D’un in un altro orror
- La cruda sorte.
- E a terminar le lagrime,
- Pietosa al mio dolor,
- Ahi! che non giunge ancor
- Per me la morte.
