The Bitter Harvests of Granada





The Bitter Harvests of Granada



A cool breeze strokes proud pines

Neath the haughty Alhambra

Where sway’d, dappled, shade

Shields those digging for Lorca



There a State reaps the harvest

Sown so long ago

But with seed stock so bitter

They'd rather not know





Federico Garcia Lorca
