I have named you queen. <br />There are taller than you, taller. <br />There are purer than you, purer. <br />There are lovelier than you, lovelier. <br />But you are the queen. <br /> <br />When you go through the streets <br />No one recognizes you. <br />No one sees your crystal crown, no one looks <br />At the carpet of red gold <br />That you tread as you pass, <br />The nonexistent carpet. <br /> <br />And when you appear <br />All the rivers sound <br />In my body, bells <br />Shake the sky, <br />And a hymn fills the world. <br /> <br />Only you and I, <br />Only you and I, my love, <br />Listen to me.<br /><br />Pablo Neruda<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/la-reina-the-queen/
