First stanza:
Del freddo Rheno, a la sinistra riva,
vidi angelett'andar per fiori e herbe,
ch'el cor m'accese di soave foco;
e per far mi cangiar pensier'e voce
mi scopers'il camin d'un alto stato,
tutt' amor, tutta gratia e tutta sole.

First stanza:
From the cold Rhine, on the left bank,
I saw a little angel coming, through flowers and grass,
who inflamed my heart with a sweet fire:
and with a change in my thoughts and voice
I discovered a path to a higher state,
full of love, full of grace, and full of sunshine.
