TUSCAN OLIVES: RISPETTO 3, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: We climbed one morning to the sunny height
Last Line: I did not turn, my love, I looked at you.
Alternate Author Name(s): Duclaux, Madame Emile; Darmesteter, Mary; Robinson, A. Mary F.
Subject(s): Love; Olive Trees And Olives


We climbed one morning to the sunny height
Where chestnuts grow no more and olives grow;
Far-off the circling mountains cinder-white,
The yellow river and the gorge below.

"Turn round," you said, O flower of Paradise;
I did not turn, I looked upon your eyes.
"Turn round," you said, "turn round and see the view!"
I did not turn, my Love, I looked at you.
