TUSCAN CYPRESS: RISPETTO 13 by AGNES MARY F. ROBINSON

First Line: FAR, FAR AWAY AND IN THE MIDDLE SEA
Last Line: WILL YOU NOT TAKE ME ON TO HEAVEN WITH YOU?
Subject(s): LOVE; TUSCANY, ITALY;

Far, far away and in the middle sea --
So still I dream, although the dream is vain, --
There lies a valley full of rest for me,
Where I shall live and you shall love again.

O ships that sail, O masts against the sky,
Will you not stop awhile in passing by?
O prayers that hope, O faith that never knew,
Will you not take me on to heaven with you?
