You said the word that enamors <br />My hearing. You already forgot. Good. <br />Sleep peacefully. Your face should <br />Be serene and beautiful at all hours. <br /> <br />When the seductive mouth enchants <br />It should be fresh, your speech pleasant; <br />For your office as lover it's not good <br />That many tears come from your face. <br /> <br />More glorious destinies reclaim you <br />That were brought, between the black wells <br />Of the dark circles beneath your eyes, <br />the seer in pain. <br /> <br />The bottom, summit of the beautiful victims! <br />The foolish spade of some barbarous king <br />Did more harm to the world and your statue.<br /><br />Alfonsina Storni<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sleep-peacefully/
