A Song from Old Spain

Alice Corbin

From “New Mexico Songs”

WHAT song of mine will live?

On whose lips will the words be sung

Long years after I am forgotten—

A name blown between the hills

Where some goat-herd

Remembers my love and passion?

He will sing of your beauty and my love,

Though it may be in another tongue,

To a strange tune,

In a country beyond the seas—

A seed blown by the wind—

He will sing of our love and passion.
