Verses of Love I

Everything about you is sweet,
To live like I live,
Hanging from your love,

As if in a captive world.
The world runs to my feet,
But I do not feel it.
Only your love rouses me
Like a soft wind.

You from a distance hold,
Your trembling threads.
I from a distance send you,
Sobs and smiles.

Versos de Amor I

Dentro de todo es dulce
Vivir como yo vivo
Pendiente de tu amor
Como un globo cautivo.

Corre el mundo a mis pies,
Pero yo no lo siento:
Solo tu amor mi agita
Como un ligero viento.

Tu de lejos sostienes
Tus hilos temblorosos,
Yo de lejos te envio
Sonrisas y sollozosto.
