RIMA XXXII
Enveloped in her beauty she passed by,
and I let her keep on going;
nor did I turn to look at her, and nevertheless,
something whispered to me: «It is her.»
Why does the evening follow the morning?
I know not; I only know
that during one brief summer night
twilights were joined and… she left.
Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer
