CASTILIANROSE


Castilianrose
A glorious Castilianrose
      a colour-blushed patched cloak,
a smiling girl, laughing for joy
     her laughter falls like raindrops
         her smile shimmers in the air,
imprint your face on the cloak of my heart,
       our lady of Guadeloupe.

A patchedcloaked old peasant, with perfumed roses
     a glimpse of heaven
          amidst our poverty
A doubting bishop, a heaven-sent morning,
        a young smiling girl, singing with love.
