CISMA DE INGLATERRA: STANZA 1, by PEDRO CALDERON DE LA BARCAPoet's Biography
First Line: Hast thou not seen, officious with delight Last Line: His sunflower wings their own funereal pyre?
HAST thou not seen, officious with delight, Move through the illumined air about the flower The Bee, that fears to drink its purple light, Lest danger lurk within that Rose's bower? Hast thou not marked the moth's enam-oured flight About the Taper's flame at evening hour, Till kindle in that monumental fire His sunflower wings their own funereal pyre?
