First Line: The north is beautiful, and I would
Last Line: Of sighing mouth on mouth.
Subject(s): Cuba
The North is beautiful, and I
Would like it - but for me
How bud the lips of woman by
The soft Habana sea!
And how can one who long has known
The fragrance of this rose,
Keep from his frozen lips a moan
Against the northern snows?
I shiver at the closing white -
But on the sunburnt south
I lie in an eternal night
Of sighing mouth on mouth.
