In A Cuban Garden

Author: Sara Teasdale [More Titles by Teasdale]

Hibiscus flowers are cups of fire,
(Love me, my lover, life will not stay)
The bright poinsettia shakes in the wind,
A scarlet leaf is blowing away.

A lizard lifts his head and listens--
Kiss me before the noon goes by,
Here in the shade of the ceiba hide me
From the great black vulture circling the sky.

[The end]
Sara Teasdale's poem: In A Cuban Garden
