Biographical details

From Santa Fe, Mexico, she was the subject of the 1830 folksong "True Love of Lucinda and Belardo":
What I long for is your love;
Because the fire in your eyes
Is like a volcano that burns me;
I am yearning and you know it,
If you do not come to me,
The power of love will drive me insane. (Gutiérrez, 334)
