Come la notte ogni fiammella è viva,
E riman spenta subito ch'aggiorna;
Così, quando il mio sol di se mi priva,
Mi leva incontra il rio timor le corna:
Ma non sì tosto all' orizzonte arriva,
Che'l timor fugge e la speranza torna.
Deh torna a me, deh torna,o caro lume,
E scaccia il rio timor che mi consume!
Orlando Furioso XLV, 37

English.png English translation

“As every spark is in the night alive,
 And suddenly extinguished when ’tis morn;
 When me my sun doth of his rays deprive,
 Against me felon Fear uplifts his horn:
 But they the shades of night no sooner drive,
 Than Fears are past and gone, and Hopes return.
 Return, alas! return, O radiance dear!
 And drive from me that foul, consuming Fear.
