"When glowing youth and beauty met, Blush at each other's glance, And, bounding to the castanet, Entwine th' impassioned dance. "And purple Xeres sends her wine, To laugh in those dark eyes, Whose flashing orbs the stars outshine, Of Andalusia's skies. "Red lips repeat the hero's name, White hands are scattering flowers; Honor be his and deathless fame, And gratitude be ours!
And from this prison should I come, in freedom once again, To sit and hear thy words of love on Andalusia's plain, The brightest thought would be to me that thou, the King, has seen 'Twas right to free a wretched slave that she might be thy Queen.
And they praise the noble lady and they curse the robber band, And they name her the Lucretia of fair Andalusia's land. And if the hearer of the tale should doubt that it be true, Let him pass along the mountain road, till Ronda comes in view, There must he halt and searching he may the story trace In letters that are deeply cut on the rocky mountain's face.
O mother Spain! for thy blest shore Mine eyes impatient yearn; For thy choicest gem is bride of mine, And she longs for my return." Where Andalusia's plains at length end in the rocky shore, And the billows of the Spanish sea against her boundaries roar, A thousand ruined castles, that were once the haughty pride Of high Cadiz, in days long past, looked down upon the tide.
