| In Andalusian afternoons | A |
| With ogling eye and compliment | B |
| Smiled on you as along you went | B |
| Some sleepy street of old Seville | C |
| Twirled with a military skill | C |
| Moustaches buttoned uniforms | A |
| Of Spanish yellow bowed your charms | A |
| - | |
| Proud wicked head and hair blue black | D |
| Whence your mantilla half thrown back | D |
| Discovered shoulders and bold breast | E |
| Bohemian brown and you were dressed | E |
| In some short skirt of gipsy red | F |
| Of smuggled stuff thence stockings dead | F |
| White silk exposed with many a hole | G |
| Thro' which your plump legs roguish stole | G |
| A fleshly look and tiny toes | A |
| In red morocco shoes with bows | A |
| Of scarlet ribbons Daintily | G |
| You walked by me and I did see | A |
| Your oblique eyes your sensuous lip | H |
| That gnawed the rose you once did flip | H |
| At bashful Jose's nose while loud | I |
| Laughed the guant guards among the crowd | I |
| And in your brazen chemise thrust | J |
| Heaved with the swelling of your bust | J |
| That bunch of white acacia blooms | A |
| Whiffed past my nostrils hot perfumes | A |
| - | |
| As in a cool neveria | K |
| I ate an ice with M rim e | A |
| Dark Carmencita you passed gay | L |
| All holiday bedizen d | A |
| A new mantilla on your head | F |
| A crimson dress bespangled fierce | A |
| And crescent gold hung in your ears | A |
| Shone wrought Morisco and each shoe | M |
| Cordovan leather spangled blue | M |
| Glanced merriment and from large arms | A |
| To well turned ancles all your charms | A |
| Blew flutterings and glitterings | A |
| Of satin bands and beaded strings | A |
| And 'round each arm's fair thigh one fold | N |
| And graceful wrists a twisted gold | N |
| Coiled serpents tails fixed in the head | F |
| Convulsive jeweled glossy red | F |
| In flowers and trimmings to the jar | K |
| Of mandolin and low guitar | K |
| You in the grated patio | O |
| Danced the curled coxcombs' flirting row | O |
| Rang pleased applause I saw you dance | A |
| With wily motion and glad glance | A |
| Voluptuous the wild romalis | A |
| Where every movement was a kiss | A |
| Of elegance delicious wound | P |
| In your Basque tambourine's dull sound | P |
| Or as the ebon castanets | A |
| Clucked out dry time in unctuous jets | A |
| Saw angry Jose thro' the grate | Q |
| Glare on us a pale face of hate | Q |
| When some indecent colonel there | K |
| Presumed too lewdly for his ear | K |
| - | |
| Some still night in Seville the street | R |
| Candilejo two shadows meet | R |
| Flash sabres crossed within the moon | S |
| Clash rapidly a dead dragoon | S |
