Claude McKay - Alfonso, Dressing to Wait at Table
Work rating: Low

Alfonso is a handsome bronze-hued lad 
  Of subtly-changing and surprising parts; 
His moods are storms that frighten and make glad, 
  His eyes were made to capture women`s hearts. 

Down in the glory-hole Alfonso sings 
  An olden song of wine and clinking glasses 
And riotous rakes; magnificently flings 
  Gay kisses to imaginary lasses. 

Alfonso`s voice of mellow music thrills 
  Our swaying forms and steals our hearts with joy; 
And when he soars, his fine falsetto trills 
  Are rarest notes of gold without alloy. 

But, O Alfonso! wherefore do you sing 
  Dream-songs of carefree men and ancient places? 
Soon we shall be beset by clamouring 
  Of hungry and importunate palefaces.
