Non fu sogno, Giselda's aria from I Lombardi

Qual prodigio!
Oh! in nera stanza or 
Si muta il paradiso!
Sogno ei fu!
Ma! d'improvviso 
Qual virtude in cormi sta?

Non fu sogno!
In fondo all'alma
Suona ancor l'amata voce;
De'beati ancor la palma
In sua man vegg'io brillar!
O guerrieri della croce,
Su correte ai santi allor!
Scorre il fiume già gli umori
L'egre membra a ravvivar.
