Alfonsina Storni Face Poems
- 1. Sleep Peacefully
You said the word that enamors
My hearing. You already forgot. Good.
Sleep peacefully. Your face should
Be serene and beautiful at all hours.

Her face is very white and very white her bed,
As if it understood, the light is almost unlit

contra tu tierra azul, mi cara oscura,

que no encanecen como los humanos.
