Io ti seguii come’iride di pace
Lungo le vie del cielo;
Io ti seguii come un’amica face
De la notte nel velo.
E ti sentii ne la luce, ne l’aria,
Nel profumo dei fiori;
E fu piena la stanza solitaria
Di te, dei tuoi splendori.
In te rapito,
al suon de la tua voce
Lungamente sognai,
E de la terra ogni affanno, ogni croce
In quel giorno scordai.
Torna, caro ideal,
torna un istante
A sorridermi ancora,
E a me risplenderà nel tuo sembiante
Una novell’aurora.
Torna, caro ideal, torna, torna.
