Poetry Doña Primavera by Gabriela Mistral

Doña Primavera

you saw that she is beautiful,

you saw in lemon tree

and in orange blossom.

He wears sandals

wide sheets, por and by caravans

some red fuchsias.

Go out and find her

on those roads. Va She's crazy with suns

and crazy with trills!

Doña Primavera

of fecund breath,

she laughs at all

the sorrows of the world ...

Does not believe the one who speaks to her las of the ruinous lives.

How are you going to bump them

among the jasmine?

How will you find them

together with the sources

of golden mirrors

and burning songs?

From the sick earth

in the brown cracks,

lights roses

with red pirouettes.

Put your lace,

turn on your vegetables,

on the sad stone

of the graves ...

Doña Primavera

of glorious hands,

make for life

we spill roses:

Roses of joy,

roses of forgiveness ,

roses of love,

and of exultation.
