Sonetos Espirituales por Juan Ramón Jiménez

III

Mientras la última luz de la esperanza
alumbre débilmente mi camino,
yo iré, sonriendo y fiel, a mi destino,
contento, como un niño, de la andanza.

¡Ay, qué vivir de bienaventuranza
la de un amor guardado, este divino
fuego que un día se regala, fino,
en una primavera sin mudanza!

Mas si me quitas tú esa luz, oscuro
quedará mi existir, y astrosas nieblas
decorarán mi corazón, que escombra

el sol. Me olvidaré del cielo puro,
llegaré a ver la luz de las tinieblas,
y haré lo que se hace entre la sombra.

Spiritual Sonnets by Juan Ramón Jiménez

3

While the last rays of hope
weakly light my way
I will smile and go faithfully toward my fate
as happy as a child on its own.

I once thought Love kept guarding
Life’s blessings like the divine
sun giving itself away on a fine
unchanging day of spring.

But as much of the light that leaves
is as much of the dark remains
when the sun beginning to end the day

grows dull. I will forget I could see
at all and accustom myself to the shade.
I will make do with whatever stays.

The Mysterious Bird by Charles Burchfield, 1917
