Like a young fig tree
you were, on the cliffs.
And when I passed by
you rang in the mountains.

Like the young fig tree,
brilliant and blind.

Like a fig tree you are.
Like an ancient fig.
And I pass, and you greet me
with dry leaves and silence.

Like a fig tree you are
that the lightning has aged.

autógrafo

Miguel Hernández
Translation by A. S. Kline


«Cancionero y romancero de ausencias» (1938-1941)
