YOUTHFUL MISTAKE
All that glitters, offers to the soul
Its scent or color;
If God had not made woman,
He wouldn't have made the flower.
What good are your sparks,
Sapphire blue, without the soft eyes?

Are nothing more than pebbles;
And, in the green arbors,
The roses sleep upright,
And are open mouths
To say nothing at all.

Gets its clarity from women;
The white pearl, without Eve,
Without you, my proud beauty,
Resembling, all ugly,
To my love that flees from you,
