Title: Love In Spain Author: Richard Le Gallienne [More Titles by Le Gallienne] You shall not dare to drink this cup, One brimming deep with woman's breath-- No sippers we of ladies' lips, Terrible like a bright sweet sword, His song a tiger-throated thing,-- Scarlet and lightning are its words, A flash, and mouth is lost on mouth, We do not dream and hesitate And ah! come hear the reason why-- All other women scarcely seem Ah! who aright shall tell their praise,-- Golden as bars of Spanish gold, Their faces as magnolias white, And swift as the steel blade that flies Under their little languid feet, Girls North and South, and East and West, [The end] GO TO TOP OF SCREEN |
