TESTO DEL LIED

"My days have been so wondrous free"
di Thomas Parnell (1679-1718)

My days have been so wondrous free,
the little birds that fly
with careless ease from tree
to tree were but as blest as I.
Ask gliding waters if a tear
of mine increased their stream.
And ask the breathing gales if e'er
I lent a sigh to them.
