La Bella Lyrics

La Bella lyrics

I walk in the sunshine

with my head in the clouds

my feet are sore from traveling

her sweet lips were more made to kiss

than to cry from pain

or roses after an evening's rain



a shadow is drawn across the plain

salient winds blows over me

her hair is bound with myrtle leaves

green grasses through her yellow sheaves



she is too fair for any man to see

or hold his heart's delight

Fairer than the queen or courtesan

moonlit waters in the night

she passes by me



her face is as the fading stain

where the peach reddens to the south



where is my true lover gone?

as I listen to the linnet's song

O where O where can she be

lamenting ocean wash over me



(La Bella was inspired by the Oscar Wilde Poem "La Bella Donna Della Mia
Mente")
