At the fountain near the roses

Language: English after the Spanish (Español)

At the fountain near the roses
The girl and the squire linger.
In the fountain's clear water
They wash their faces with their hands.
He facing her and she facing him,
The girl and the squire wash.

Translator’s Note: "rosel" means something along the lines of a rosebush. Similar examples of the word “rosel” include: "la color tengo mezclada como rosa en el rosel” and "quando amor urde su trama, quando floresce el rosel".
