What does "pañolín" mean in Spanish? Here is the context in a poem: he aquí que entre las sombras regando estás la esencia / del pañolín de lágrimas de alguna buena novia.

Hola, 7-7_47. Welcome to the forum.
I had no idea what a pañolín is, so I did a quick Google search. It seems to be a large kerchief which is meant to be worn around the neck. See link text
The word "pañolín" may be derived from or otherwise related to "pañuelo" which is a handkerchief, scarf, or headscarf. And a "pañoleta" is a shawl or wrap.
