Miguel Hernández

The sun, the rose and the child

The sun, the rose and the child
Were once born as one day flowers
The daily ones are
Suns, flowers and new children.
 
Tomorrow I will not be the one
Someone else will be the true one.
I will not be beyond
Who wants his memory.
 
A one day flower is the greatest thing
Beside the smallest thing.
Flower of light is the thunder
And the instant flower is time.
 
Among the flowers you left,
Among the flowers I remain.
