TRUTHS

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

 

 

  Strophes to the moon  

 

 

 

Beautiful, clear and clean night...

The moon shines in the high,

in the long summit of the sky.

 

 

 

 

Beautiful, clean, clear night...

The whole space the moon clarifies —

there is not of fog a veil.

 

 

 

 

Oh night full of enchantments!

The breeze intones you songs,

running through the ampleness.

 

 

 

 

The whites lilies smile to you,

they shine in the sky clear candles,

in strong gleam.

 

 

 

 

Shining the suspended moon,

in the immense sidereal umbrella,

it invites us to meditate...

 

 

 

 

And its so shining profile

instills oestrus to our mind,

it gushes light to our glance.

 

 

 

 

Oh night propitiate to loves!

In your breast there are good scents,

your charms are abundant...

 

 

 

 

The glances of the stars

distribute many thousands of

brilliant light arrows.

 

 

 

 

Melodious serenades,

they intone volatas to you,

tender sounds send beyond...

 

 

 

 

And my soul in fantasies,

hearing such harmonies,

what joy, what pleasure has!...

 

 

 

 

From the curved, blue, convex sky,

one sees in the river the reflex

full of astral lights.

 

 

 

 

Having dewed the breasts,

flowers shine in the blackberry thickets.

Are there vegetable stars?

 

 

 

 

In the waters in murmur,

in blinding popular dance,

stars, moon and sky I saw.

 

 

 

 

And the circumstant vegetables,

with their brilliant foliages,

they oscillate, smiling, there...

 

 

 

 

Oh smiling and beautiful moon!

Only my soul now desires

to kiss you and to join with you.

 

 

 

 

Say: — don´t be silent —

your invisible road,

where is it? I want to go up...

 

 

 

 

Oh so seductive night!

You should have been durable,

you should never have had end.

 

 

 

 

Oh immense sky, oh beautiful sky!

It is now my aspiration —

that you always be like this.

 

 

 

 

Your aspect how it is rare!

By you, night, I am jealous

and crazy for your light.

 

 

 

 

Your splendor puts me mute,

your aroma, stars, everything

it inebriates me and it seduces me.
