IN TUSCANY: MINOR NOTES; TWELVE RISPETTI: 5, by                    
First Line: I ride through forest and I ride through dale
Last Line: To men below and nightingales above.


I ride through forest and I ride through dale,
Made dim and dark by many a tall pine-tree;
I sing my song, and hear the nightingale,
Who is my little brother, answer me.
We sing a song that hath the same refrain,
And saith, alas! how Love is only pain;
That saith, alas! how like a thorn is Love
To men below and nightingales above.
