Explore "My Wish, Feliciana" by Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
My wish, Feliciana, is to / sing your celebrated beauty; / and since it is to be sung, / you will be the instrument.
About your ornamented head / my love says, with no misgiving, / that the high notes of your tresses / are in a harmony so fair / that with some audacity / love proclaims in a gentle voice / that he knows how to arrange them, / and his touch alone will strum them.
