Spunta l'aurora pallida, Margherita's aria from Mefistofele

Spunta . . . l'aurora pallida . . . 
L'ultimo di già viene . . . 
Esser doveva . . . 
Il fulgido giorno . . . 
Del nostro imene . . . 
Tutto è finito 
In vita.
 
Taci . . . ad ognun s'asconda, 
S'asconda che amasti Margherita 
E ch'io ti diedi il cor. 
Ah! A questa moribonda perdonerai . . . 
Signor . . . perdonerai, Signor. 
Padre santo . . . 
Mi salva . . . e voi, celesti, 
Proteggete 
Questa che a voi si volge.
