SONG OF FIESOLE, by                    
First Line: Fiesole, fiesole
Last Line: I left my heart with you!
Subject(s): Florence, Italy


Fiesole, Fiesole,
Above the Tuscan towers
Of grey Firenze at your feet,
Your bells have clanged the hours

Of dark decades and stirring years --
But now you lie at ease,
Fiesole, Fiesole,
Among your olive trees.

Once, high above the Arno banks,
I climbed your hill in spring,
And graven as on gold remains
That upward wandering.

The wild-flowers led me on the slopes
Like Ariadne's clue --
And at the crest, Fiesole,
I left my heart with you!
