- DIAMANTE
-
- On her seventy-fifth birthday celebration,
- She watches, from the balcony, grandchildren
- Playing tag in the moonlight.
-
- Melodies from guitars oscillate
- The waves of time ...
- As young swains serenade her
- With plaintive songs of love.
-
- She draws her gold mantilla
- Across her face.
- She coyly smiles ...
- She is eighteen again !
