| | From “Sunlight Persuasions”
SEE him pass, Señoritas! | |
| In his eyes are crisp shadows | |
| Of doorways from the Alhambra— | |
| Clipped with sunlight. | |
| |
| Habaneras come from Lillas Pastia’s | 5 |
| Tavern, as he saunters by— | |
| From Pastia’s window in the moonlight. | |
| |
| I have seen the bull-ring in the pupils | |
| Of his eyes: | |
| Calm cool crowds—women arranging their mantillas, | 10 |
| Throwing kisses to their beloved matador, | |
| Over the ring-side. | |
| |
| I have seen thunder-storms on the hills of Toledo— | |
| Lightning striking the Escorial. | |
| I have seen the fandango, when he smiled. | 15 |
| |
These are all for you—
Señoritas! | | | | |
