TUSCAN CYPRESS: RISPETTO 8 by AGNES MARY F. ROBINSON

First Line: AH ME, YOU WELL MIGHT WAIT A LITTLE WHILE
Last Line: AND I FORGOT, BUT NOW REMEMBER WELL.
Subject(s): TUSCANY, ITALY;
Ah me, you well might wait a little while,
And not forget me Sweet, until I die!
I had a home, a little distant isle,
With shadowy trees and tender misty sky.

I had a home! It was less dear than thou,
And I forgot, as you forget me now.
I had a home, more dear than I could tell,
And I forgot, but now remember well.
