Three Lyrics by Robert Browning

Song Cycle by Daniel Protheroe (1866 - 1934)

?. I send my heart up to thee [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English

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 one space 
  Above me, whence thy face
May light my joyous heart to thee, to thee its dwelling place.
