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.
