Mensaje
Language: Spanish (Español)
Aun guardan las violetas que te envío,
Nacidas a la luz de las estrellas
Y cubiertas de gotas de rocío
Algo del cielo de la noche en ellas.
Como si sus colores
fuesen ansia de azul
Resuelta en flores
Una a una cogílas cuidadoso
Y a todas las bendije al invocarte
Dejando en cada cáliz oloroso
De mi ardiarte querer alguna parte.
Tal es cada violeta,
Un mensaje de amor
De tu poeta.

Message
Language: English after the Spanish (Español)
Still they keep the violets that I sent you,
Born by the light of the stars
And covered with drops of dew
Something of the night sky in them.
As if their colors
Were [a] yearning of blue
Resolved in flowers.
One by one I picked them carefully
And I blessed all of them while invoking you,
Leaving in each fragrant chalice
A part of my ardent desire.
Thus is each violet
A message of love
From your poet.
