in Poetry in Opera, Tosca

This is a beautiful part of the Opera Tosca that translates into very sad love poetry.

E Lucevan le Stelle
(And the Stars were Shining)
from the Opera Tosca

And the stars were shining…
And the earth smelt sweet…
And the gate creaked…
And a footstep brushed the sand.
She entered, fragrant,
And fell into my arms.
o soft kisses, tender caresses,
While I, all a-quiver,
Unveiled her lovely features!
Vanished forever is my dream of love.
That time has fled
And I die in despair.
Never have I loved life so dearly!

Puccini
