June
Language: English
Available translation(s): SPA
Dark red roses in a honeyed wind swinging,
Silk-soft hollyhock, coloured like the moon;
Larks high overhead lost in light, and singing;
That's the way of June.
Dark red roses in the warm wind falling,
Velvet leaf by velvet leaf, all the breathless noon;
Far off sea waves calling, calling, calling;
That's the way of June.
Sweet as scarlet strawberry under wet leaves hidden,
Honey'd as the damask rose, lavish as the moon,
Shedding lovely light on things forgotten, hope forbidden,
That's the way of June.

Junio
Language: Spanish (Español) after the English
Rosas rojo oscuro oscilando con el dulce viento,
Malva suave como la seda, coloreada como la luna;
Alondras en lo alto perdidas en la luz, y cantando;
Así es junio.
Rosas rojo oscuro cayendo con el cálido viento,
Hoja a hoja de terciopelo, mediodía sin aliento;
Olas de mar a lo lejos llamando, llamando, llamando;
Así es junio.
Dulces fresas escarlatas bajo húmedas hojas escondidas,
Suaves como rosa de Damasco, generosas como la luna,
Arrojando luz encantadora sobre cosas olvidadas, prohibida esperanza,
Así es junio.
