Alfonsina Storni Good Poems
- 1. I Am Going To Sleep
Teeth of flowers, hairnet of dew,
hands of herbs, you, perfect wet nurse,

Sleep peacefully. Your face should
Be serene and beautiful at all hours.

My sister is asleep, hands on her chest;
Her face is very white and very white her bed,
As if it understood, the light is almost unlit
