XIII
“No Se Tome El Trabajo de Contestar.”
How answer the breath of a rose?
For the lily's charm find phrases?
Round their shy reserves they close,
And are safer than alpine snows
From the stain of our futile praises.
For the lily's charm find phrases?
Round their shy reserves they close,
And are safer than alpine snows
From the stain of our futile praises.
If your youth call the ghost of mine
Back out of the twilight glooming,
I thrill as the prisoned wine
Once more feels the ferment divine,
In May when the vines are blooming.
Back out of the twilight glooming,
I thrill as the prisoned wine
Once more feels the ferment divine,
In May when the vines are blooming.
