Federico García Lorca - Sonnet Of The Sweet Complaint

2014-11-07 6 Dailymotion

Never let me lose the marvel <br />of your statue-like eyes, or the accent <br />the solitary rose of your breath <br />places on my cheek at night. <br /> <br /> I am afraid of being, on this shore, <br />a branchless trunk, and what I most regret <br />is having no flower, pulp, or clay <br />for the worm of my despair. <br /> <br /> If you are my hidden treasure, <br />if you are my cross, my dampened pain, <br />if I am a dog, and you alone my master, <br /> <br /> never let me lose what I have gained, <br />and adorn the branches of your river <br />with leaves of my estranged Autumn. <br /> <br /> <br />Translated by John K. Walsh and Francisco Aragon<br /><br />Federico García Lorca<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-of-the-sweet-complaint-2/
