Impossible
To a young woman

Perhaps did happen sudden by one glance
limpid and gentle, clearest water like
or maybe by your candour's splendid smile
such a great flame did rouse into my hearth
that will never die out such a big fire.
Just like a storm uproots the higher trees
real lovers pain hard by thoughtfulness
but if watching at you could see disguised
that your pure soul did hear my sentiments
and you precious has accepted the regret
that to accomplish it's impossible for us
I'll feel quite satisfied nevertheless.
I don't care if illusion or reality
but alto if by longing I'm consumed
I'll be content not ceasing to love thee
