Florence: A Thousand Sights

What sweet surprise, what strange delight

To find myself this Florence night

On wings across the miles to you ...

I wonder if you miss me too

 

My soul's aglow, my mind's aflame

Among this city's ancient names

Who led the Renaissance in art

And stoked the embers of my heart

 

A thousand sights, a thousand smells

A thousand stories each one tells

And so I'm wishing you were here

Imagining that you are near

 

A time too short, an end too soon

A drifting cloud across the moon

A dream beneath the starry skies

The darkest hour before sunrise
