Poem “Song of Autumn in Spring”
DE RUBEN DARIO
Youth, divine treasure,
and you'll not return!
When I want to cry, I do not cry...
and sometimes I cry without wanting to...
Plural has been the celestial
story of my heart.
She was a sweet girl, in this
world of mourning and affliction.
She looked like pure dawn;
She smiled like a flower.
It was her dark hair
made of night and pain.
I was shy like a child.
She, naturally, was,
for my love made of ermine,
Herodias and Salome...
Youth, divine treasure,
and you'll not return!
When I want to cry, I do not cry...
and sometimes I cry without wanting to...
And more comforting and more
flattering and expressive,
the other was more sensitive
which I never thought I would find.
Well, to your continuous tenderness
a violent passion united.
In a sheer chiffon peplum
a bacchante was involved...
In her arms she took my dream
and she lulled him to sleep like a baby...
And she killed you, sad and small,
lacking light, lacking faith...
Youth, divine treasure,
You left never to return!
When I want to cry, I do not cry...
and sometimes I cry without wanting to...
Another judged that it was my mouth
the case of her passion;
and that she would gnaw me, crazy,
with her teeth her heart.
Putting in a love of excess
the sight of her will,
while they were hug and kiss
synthesis of eternity;
and of our light meat
always imagine an Eden,
without thinking that Spring
and the meat ends too...
Youth, divine treasure,
and you'll not return!
When I want to cry, I do not cry...
and sometimes I cry without wanting to.
And the others! In so many climates,
in so many lands they always are,
if not excuses for my rhymes
ghosts of my heart.
In vain I looked for the princess
that she was sad to wait.
Life is hard. She is bitter and heavy.
There is no princess to sing anymore!
But despite the stubborn weather,
my thirst for love has no end;
with gray hair, I approach
to the rose bushes in the garden...
Youth, divine treasure,
and you'll not return!
When I want to cry, I do not cry...
and sometimes I cry without wanting to...
But the Golden Dawn is mine!
