Subject(s): Solitude; Tuscany, Italy; Loneliness
MY mother bore me 'neath the streaming moon,
And all the enchanted light is in my soul.
I have no place amid the happy noon,
I have no shadow there nor aureole.
Ah, lonely whiteness in a clouded sky,
You are alone, nor less alone am I;
Ah, moon, that makest all the roses grey,
The roses I behold are wan as they!
