TUSCAN CYPRESS: RISPETTO 4 by AGNES MARY F. ROBINSON

First Line: O LOVE, O LOVE, COME OVER THE SEA, COME HERE
Last Line: SO SHALL MY SOUL BE HAPPY ANYWHERE.
Subject(s): LOVE; TUSCANY, ITALY;
O Love, O Love, come over the sea, come here,
Come back and kiss me once when I am dead!
Come back and lay a rose upon my bier,
Come, light the tapers at my feet and head.

Come back and kiss me once upon the eyes,
So I, being dead, shall dream of Paradise;
Come, kneel beside me once and say a prayer,
So shall my soul be happy anywhere.
