Go not too far

Language: English

Go not too far, too far beyond my gaze,
Thou who canst never pass beyond the yearning
Which, even as the dark for dawning stays,
Awaits thy loved returning !
 
Go not too far ! Howe'er thy fancies roam,
Let them come back, wide-circling like the swallow,
Lest I, for very need, should try to come
And find I could not follow !


Input by Ferdinando Albeggiani
