VERDI PRATI, SELVE AMENE<\/p>\n

Verdi prati, selve amene,
\nperderete la belt\u00e0.
\nVaghi fior, correnti rivi,
\nla vaghezza, la bellezza,
\npresto in voi si canger\u00e0.
\nVerdi prati, selve amene,
\nperderete la belt\u00e0.
\nE cangiato il vago oggetto,
\nall’orror del primo aspetto
\ntutto in voi ritorner\u00e0.<\/p>\n
