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.
