WHEN I SAW YOU COMING

When I saw you coming with the other swallows

only then I understood why they all chattered with such joy,

the birds among the leaves, the fairies in the branches,

the butterflies that in the light were born again.

You slowly walked the pathway, and a certain glow

shone on your face, such flowery beauty on the moistened soil

undoubtedly the spring had met you first

and under the almond trees had kissed your lips.
