ITALIAN QUATRAIN: OLIVE TREE by LEONORA SPEYER

First Line: MOONLIGHT IS ALWAYS ON ITS LEAVES
Last Line: LOVERS WHO CHANCE TO WANDER THERE.
Subject(s): ITALY; OLIVE TREES AND OLIVES; ITALIANS;
Moonlight is always on its leaves;
At noon there is a midnight air
About its branches, that deceives
Lovers who chance to wander there.
