Pablo Neruda-- Stones of the Sky

Pablo Neruda-- Stones of the Sky

XII

Yo quiero que despierte

La luz encarcelada:

Flor mineral, acude

A mi conducta:

 

Los párpados levantan la cortina

Del largo tiempo espeso

Hasta que aquellos ojos enterrados

Vuelvan a ser y ver transparencia.


 Translation:

I want the light

Locked inside to awaken:

Crystalline flower

Wake as I do:

 

Eye lids raise the curtains

Of endless earthen time

Until deeply buried eyes

Flash clear enough again

To see their own clarity.
