by Federico García Lorca (1898 - 1936)

Meditación primera y última
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Our translations:  ENG
El Tiempo
tiene color de noche.
De una noche quieta.
Sobre lunas enormes
la Eternidad
está fija en las doce.
Y el Tiempo se ha dormido
para siempre en su torre.
Nos engañan
todos los relojes.
El Tiempo tiene ya
horizontes.
