LOVE, I THANK YOU – Poetry, by Angelo Poliziano

LOVE, I THANK YOU

For all my pain and torment, and I’m content, for every sorrow. I’m content for all I’ve suffered, Lord, in your lovely kingdom: For, without merit, by your mercy, so great a pledge you’ve granted me, since you’ve made me worthy, of a smile so blessed, my heart it’s carried, to Heaven above. I thank you, Love. Those lovely laughing eyes, have carried my heart to Paradise, where, Love, I saw how you hide, there, among your ardent fires. O lovely shining eyes, that snatched my heart away, how, say, does such sweet power move? I thank you, Love. I had grave doubts for my life: My Lady dressed in white, with her loving smile she saved me, pure, beautiful and happy, her hair was decked with roses and violets, and her eyes yet, brighter than sunlight prove. Love, I thank you.

(Angelo Poliziano)
