CANZONE, by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI Poet's Biography First Line: Ah me! Ah me! When thinking of the years Last Line: And I am near to fail, infirm and weary. Alternate Author Name(s): Michel Angelo | |||
Ah me! ah me! when thinking of the years, The vanished years, alas, I do not find Among them all one day that was my own! Fallacious hope; desires of the unknown, Lamenting, loving, burning, and in tears (For human passions all have stirred my mind), Have held me, now I feel and know, confined Both from the true and good still far away. I perish day by day; The sunshine fails, the shadows grow more dreary, And I am near to fail, infirm and weary. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MADRIGAL: 109 by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI SONNET by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI SONNET by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI SONNET: DANTE (1) by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI SONNET: FOR INSPIRATION by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI TO GIOVANNI DA PISTOIA ON THE PAINTING OF THE SISTINE CHAPEL, 1509 by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI AT FLORENCE (1) by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI AT FLORENCE (2) by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI CELESTIAL LOVE by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI IL MIO REFUGIO by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI |
