A un Olmo Seco(original) |
| Al olmo viejo, hendido por el rayo |
| Y en su mitad podrido |
| Con las lluvias de abril y el sol de mayo |
| Algunas hojas verdes le han salido |
| El olmo centenario en la colina… |
| Un musgo amarillento |
| Le lame la corteza blanquecina |
| Al tronco carcomido y polvoriento |
| Antes que te derribe, olmo del Duero |
| Con su hacha el leñador, y el carpintero |
| Te convierta en malena de campana |
| Lanza de carro o yugo de carretera; |
| Antes que rojo en el hogar, mañana |
| Ardas de alguna mísera caseta |
| Antes que el río hasta la mar te empuje |
| Por valles y barrancas |
| Olmo, quiero anotar en mi cartera |
| La gracia de tu rama verdecida |
| Mi corazón espera |
| También hacia la luz y hacia la vida |
| Otro milagro de la primavera |
| (translation) |
| To the old elm, split by lightning |
| And in its rotten half |
| With the rains of April and the sun of May |
| Some green leaves have come out |
| The centenary elm tree on the hill… |
| a yellowish moss |
| Licks the whitish bark |
| To the rotten and dusty trunk |
| Before I knock you down, Duero elm |
| With his ax the woodcutter, and the carpenter |
| I turned you into a bell malena |
| Wagon spear or road yoke; |
| Before red at home, tomorrow |
| Ardas of some miserable booth |
| Before the river to the sea pushes you |
| Through valleys and ravines |
| Olmo, I want to write down in my portfolio |
| The grace of your green branch |
| my heart waits |
| Also towards the light and towards life |
| Another spring miracle |
