<poem>
Zephyr returns and with him fair weather,
and the flowers and grass, his sweet family,
and Procne’s warbling and Philomel’s plangent song,
and spring in all its white and crimson display.
The meadows laugh, the sky is serene;
Jove delights in watching his daughter;
air and sea and earth are full of love;
every beast tells itself to find a mate.
Yet for me, alas, return those heaviest of
sighs, drawn from the depths of my heart
by she who has taken its keys to heaven;
and despite birdsong and fields of flowers
and the honest, gentle acts of fair maidens
I am but a desert, surrounded by savage beasts.

Zefiro torna, e 'l bel tempo rimena,
e i fiori e l'erbe, sua dolce famiglia,
et garrir Progne et pianger Filomena,
e primavera candida e vermiglia.

Ridono i prati, e 'l ciel si rasserena;
Giove s'allegra di mirar sua figlia;
l'aria e l'acqua e la terra è d'amor piena;
ogni animal d'amar si riconsiglia.

Ma per me, lasso, tornano i più gravi
sospiri, che del cor profondo tragge
quella ch'al ciel se ne portò le chiavi;

e cantar augelletti, e fiorir piagge,
e 'n belle donne oneste atti soavi
sono un deserto, e fere aspre e selvagge.

Zephyr returns and with him fair weather,
and the flowers and grass, his sweet family,
and Procne’s warbling and Philomel’s plangent song,
 and spring in all its white and crimson display.

The meadows laugh, the sky is serene;
Jove delights in watching his daughter;
air and sea and earth are full of love;
every beast tells itself to find a mate.

Yet for me, alas, return those heaviest of
sighs, drawn from the depths of my heart
by she who has taken its keys to heaven;

and despite birdsong and fields of flowers
and the honest, gentle acts of fair maidens
I am but a desert, surrounded by savage beasts.
