History & Politics

Spain

by Emily Lawless 1845–1913

From The Inalienable Heritage, and Other Poems (1914)

History & Politics

Your sky is a hard and a dazzling blue,
Your earth and sands are a dazzling gold,
And gold or blue is the proper hue,
You say for a swordsman bold.

In the land I have left the skies are cold,
The earth is green, the rocks are bare,
Yet the devil may hold all your blue and your gold
Were I only once back there!
