by María do Ceo, Abbess (1658 - 1753)

Cubridme de flores
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Cubridme de flores
que muero de amores!
Porque de mi aliento el aire
no lleve el olor sublime,
cubridme!
sea porque todo es uno
alientos de amor y olores
de flores.
De asucenas y jasmines
aqui la mortaja espero,
que muero!
Si me preguntais de qué
respondo: en dulces rigores
de amores.
