SPAIN

I am she that set my seal upon the nameless

West worlds of seas;

And my sons as brides took unto them the tameless

Hesperides.

Till my sins and sons through sinless lands dispersed,

With red flame shod,

Made accurst the name of man, and thrice accursed

The name of God.

Lest for those past fires the fires of my repentance

Hell's fume yet smother,

Now my blood would buy remission of my sentence;
