I am a Spaniard, from lands far away
I wonder if, in the Americas, I will find treasure
I hear the ocean waves smash against our ship
I see the distant sun, which seems impossible to outstrip
I want to venture the Americas, and become richer
I am a Spaniard, from lands far away
I pretend to have found gold, pretend the queen knighting me
I feel excited, as I land on the levee
I touch a tree, and prick myself on some brambles
I worry if I am not able to find any valuables
I cry that I might not succeed, and might have to return home in dismay
I am a Spaniard, from lands far away
I understand that this trip may be futile
I say that I won’t end up empty-handed
I dream of success, and, for my actions, being rewarded a castle
I try to find something cherished, valued, and respected
I hope that everything will turn out okay
I am a Spaniard, from lands far away
what is the rhyme scheme?
