The Cuban in the States

Haniel Long

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.
