TRUTHS

=====================================================================

 

 

  In Heaven  
 
 

TO HERMÍNIA

 

 

 

 

Dreaming, I went one day to heaven. In the height,

during that ascension, I had a good time

looking at the world, «Oh! what madness,

I said, to live there, where one live!... »

 

 

 

 

And, cursing the earth, the impure earth,

an irony laughter I didn't contain,

to foretaste from the future life, my luck.

I arrived finally to paradise; but, where I had been,

 

 

 

 

smiles, cherubs, sweet harmony,

everything that enchants and caresses us

it infused me there immense sadness!

 

 

 

 

As, there even, in the sky, of angels surrounded,

I felt and I will feel horrendous tediousness,

every time that to lack your presence.
