TUSCAN CYPRESS: RISPETTO 6 by AGNES MARY F. ROBINSON

First Line: I AM SO PALE TO-NIGHT, SO MERE A GHOST
Last Line: WHOM YOU WILL TREMBLE, DEAR, AND START TO SEE!
Subject(s): LOVE; TUSCANY, ITALY;

I am so pale to-night, so mere a ghost,
Ah, what, to-morrow, shall my spirit be?
No living angel of the heavenly host,
No happy soul, blithe in eternity.

Nay; I shall wander on beneath the moon
A lonely phantom seeking for you, soon;
A wandering ghost, seeking you timidly,
Whom you will tremble, dear, and start to see!
