POPULAR TUSCAN SONG: 4 by ANONYMOUS

First Line: STREW ME WITH BLOSSOMS WHEN I DIE
Last Line: "DYING FOR YOU, I DIE OF LOVE"

"Strew me with blossoms when I die,
Nor lay me 'neath the earth below;
Beyond those walls, there let me lie,
Where oftentimes we used to go.
There lay me to the wind and rain;
Dying for you, I feel no pain:
There lay me to the sun above;
Dying for you, I die of love."
