My Spanish Shawl 1922 'Hitchy-Koo of 1922'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 02 Jun 2005

Shawl, though the swallow
has taken to wing
since first I found you,
yet the scent of Granada in spring
still lingers 'round you.
Ah, what beautiful nights
you have known, what glory,
won't you whisper to me,
we're alone, your story?

What secrets hover beneath your cover?
What are the memories you recall,
wonderful silken shawl.
What tale reposes among your roses?
What were your moments divine
within love's thrall?
I hear a distant guitar
and see you afar
revealing a maiden's charms,
swaying before a Toreador
then sinking into his arms,
at last reclining
'neath the moonbeams shining.
Don't you remember it all,
my Spanish shawl?
