I send my heart up to thee, all my...

I send my heart up to thee, all my heart 
In this my singing,
For the stars help me, and the sea, and the sea bears part;
The very night is clinging
Closer to Venice' streets to leave on space 
Above me, whence thy face
May light my joyous heart to thee, to thee its dwelling place,

by Robert Browning (1812-1889) , no title, from Bells and Pomegranates, published 1842
