Sonetto 104 del Petrarca - the poem

[Muzakian]

Can anyone here help me uncover the original poem that inspired Liszt's Sonetto 104 del Petrarca? Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find anything using the search engine, and all I found on the internet was this: https://www.opus30.net/sonnet104.txt
However, I don't think that site is a reliable source - at least I hope it's incorrect, because that poem "sucketh" 
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance

i'm still looking.  so far i found an interesting site:
https://library.upenn.edu/exhibits/rbm/petrarch/petrarch_music.html

also you can hear dinu lipatti play this piece:
www.musicabona.com/catalog/PL236.html.en

'Pace non trovo' is the poem that Liszt set for piano.  it is described as "an agitated, gusty opening that gives way to the calm beginning of a concentrated love story.  The mood continually shifts from the lyrical to explosions of passion in Liszt's characteristically theatrical manner (quoting off a source on the internet).  After a powerful, virtuosic culmination, fortissimo with octaves, double notes, and long trills- the music gradually subsides into a heavenly Coda.  Liszt's harmonic creativity (juxtaposition of remote keys, smoothly executed modulations, and the always fresh use of augmented chords) is here revealed in its fullest extent."

will look some more.

ok.  you can find the whole poem under lang lang's program notes.  BUT, you have to keep scrolling down past the initial program.

Very nice. Thanks heaps pianonut! 
I actually own the Lipatti recording and love it (it's better than Bolet to these ears).

Dover's "Liszt Masterpieces" book does have the poem and a translation.  This website has a lot of various poems that were set to music.  Here's this one:

Btw, Liszt originally wrote it as a song (voice and piano) which he transcribed into two piano versions!  The original song and first piano transcription were part of Tre Sonetti di Petrarca. (The Annees de Pelerinage one being the one most played now.)  There are recordings of the song available if you look around.

ah! This was where I got my screen name from as I was listening to this piece played by Lipatti the other day! =D
