Re: Dear Aba, this is great!
Dear Presta sister. I agree with you that there could be a third one too. You'll find the poem somewhat of a different type than his others. It was the time when scientific discoveries had just begun, and he incorporated these in his poems. Thank u so v mucho

Dear Aba, this is great!
I love your analysis of the poem. I haven't read this poem yet and will do so when I get some extra time. But just from what you have written, I wonder if, when telling the sun to 'just shine on us,' if there is possibly not only a double entendre, but maybe a triple one; the literal, the figurative, and a bold statement of, So what who knows about us? Let all the world see. Thank you, brother Aba. Beautifully told.

I wonder if he wrote it as an amusing sequel to his thoughts of the preceding amorous adventure. Although honestly I think his lady might have been inclined to suggest such a poem.
