Sara Teasdale - In a Cuban Garden lyrics

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.
