La luz bajo los árboles,
la luz del alto cielo.
La luz
verde
enramada
que fulgura
en la hoja
y cae como fresca
arena blanca.
Una cigarra eleva
su son de aserradero
sobre la transparencia.
Es una copa llena
de agua
el mundo.
Pablo Neruda
Ode To Enchanted Light
The light below the trees.
The light of high sky.
The laureled light
that flashes
on the leaf
and falls
like
fresh
white
sand....
A cicada
lofts an aria
of sawyer's mill
over transparency.
The world is a chalice
of water filled to the brim.
