The Refrain of Spain
by
Ronald Beil


The refrain of Spain
With its pain and strain

Can be for me
An epiphany to see, a consciousness free

Adore or ignore
The core of it's lore
Or, the roar of its gore

The dance, the lance, the prance, the trance
The cathedrals, the horses, the music, the romance

For thru the back door
It comes to more
Maybe sore, but never a bore on this tour

Your parador, your nightly protector
Your winsome guide, your daytime connector

Your time of your life
Single, husband or wife.
