Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Spring in Tuscany: And Other Lyrics
One from the steeps where the pines stand sleep ing, One from the deep land, one from the height, One from the light and the might of the town.
The lowlands laugh with delight of the highlands, Whence May winds feed them with balm and breath From hills that beheld in the years behind A shape as of one from the blest souls' islands, Made fair by a soul too fair for death, With eyes on the light that should smite them blind.
Vallombrosa remotely remembers, Perchance, what still to us seems so near That time not darkens it, change not mars, The foot that she knew when her leaves were September's, The face lift up to the star-blind seer, That saw from his prison arisen his stars.
