THE BULL FIGHT
T HE couriers from Chihuahua go
To distant Cusi and Santavo,
Announce the feast of all the year the crown —
Se corren los toros!
And Juan brings his Pepita into town.
The rancherias on the mountain side,
The haciendas of the Llano wide,
Are quickened by the matador's renown.
Se corren los toros!
And Juan brings his Pepita into town.
The women that on ambling burros ride,
The men that trudge behind or close beside
Make groups of dazzling red and White and brown.
Se corren los toros!
And Juan brings his Pepita into town.
Or else the lumbering carts are brought in play,
That jolt and scream and groan along the way,
But to their happy tenants cause no frown.
Se corren los toros!
And Juan brings his Pepita into town.
The Plaza De Los Toros offers seats,
Some deep in shade, on some the fierce sun beats;
