Sevillian ditty
Language: English after the Spanish (Español)
Day was breaking
in the orange-grove.
Little golden bees
were searching for honey.
Where will
the honey be?
It will be in the blue flower,
Isabel.
In that rosemary flower.
(Little seat of gold
for the Moor.
A seat of tinsel
for his wife.)
Day was dawning
in the orange-grove.
