TUSCAN CYPRESS: RISPETTO 9 by AGNES MARY F. ROBINSON

First Line: LOVE ME TO-DAY AND THINK NOT ON TO-MORROW!
Last Line: WHICH WE WILL PLAIT IN WREATHS -- WHEN I AM DEAD.
Subject(s): TUSCANY, ITALY;
Love me to-day and think not on to-morrow!
Come, take my hands, and lead me out of doors,
There in the fields let us forget our sorrow,
Talking of Venice and Ionian shores; --

Talking of all the seas innumerable
Where we will sail and sing when I am well;
Talking of Indian roses gold and red,
Which we will plait in wreaths -- when I am dead.
