SEE him pass, Señoritas!

In his eyes are crisp shadows

Of doorways from the Alhambra—

Clipped with sunlight.

Habaneras come from Lillas Pastia’s

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,

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.

These are all for you—
Señoritas!
