Sonnet XXXIII. Full many a glorious morning have I seen...
William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
Full many a glorious morning have I seen
Flatter the mountain-tops with sovereign eye,
Kissing with golden face the meadows green,
Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy;
Anon permit the basest clouds to ride
With ugly rack on his celestial face,
And from the forlorn world his visage hide,
Stealing unseen to west with this disgrace:
Even so my sun one early morn did shine
With all triumphant splendor on my brow;
But out, alack! he was but one hour mine;
The region cloud hath mask'd him from me now.
Yet him for this my love no whit disdaineth;
Suns of the world may stain when heaven's sun staineth.
Soneto XXXIII
He visto a la mañana en plena gloria
Los picos halagar con su mirada,
Besar con su oro las praderas verdes
Y dorar con su alquimia arroyos pálidos;
Y luego permitir el paso oscuro
De fieros nubarrones por su rostro,
Y ocultarlo a la tierra abandonada
Huyendo hacia occidente sin ventura.
Así brilló mi sol, un día, al alba,
Sobre mi frente, con triunfal belleza;
Una hora no más lo he poseído
Y hoy me lo esconden las aéreas nubes.
No desdeñes mi amor: si el sol del cielo
Se eclipsa, han de velarse los del mundo.Etiquetas: William Shakespeare |
