Valle Che D' Lamenti Miei Se' Piena
The poem describes the valley of lamentations, where the poet's sighs and tears accumulate, a symbol of his sorrowful heart. The valley is personified, with its own voice, which echoes the poet's laments. The poet addresses the valley, asking it to be a witness to his suffering, and to convey his emotions to his beloved, who is absent.
