| In the warm Italian night | A |
| Of a tower that shines and springs | B |

| Of doves of a hundred wings | B |
| Sweeping in sound that sings | B |
| Past our faces and wide | C |
| Returning in tremulous rings | B |
| - | |
| Of a window on Arno side | C |
| Sun warm when the rain has dried | C |
| On the roofs and from far below | D |
| The clear street cries are cried | C |

| Sounding soft vesper call | G |
| - | |
| And of golden morning bare | E |
| On Lucca roofs and fair | E |
| Blue hills and scent that shook | I |
| From blossoming chestnuts where | E |
| - | |
| Red ramparts overlook | I |
| Hot meadow and leafy nook | I |
| And girls with laughing cries | J |
| Beat clothes in a glittering brook | I |
| - | |
| And of magic builded skies | J |
| Upon still lagoons and wise | J |
| Padua's pillared street | K |
| In the charm of a day that dies | J |
| - | |
| Of olive shade in the heat | K |
| And a lone cool rocky seat | K |
| On an island beach and bright | A |
| Fresh ripples about our feet | K |
| - | |
| Of mountains in vast moon light | A |
| Of rivers' rushing flight | A |
| Of gardens of green retreat | K |
| I dream and of our delight | A |
