Note: Poem “La Aurora” written by my grandfather, one of many he did. He wrote mostly about Christian ethics. I included this short poem in my page as requested by YTHall, a new friend, who writes in Castilian here in Poeticous.com.
La Aurora
Brilla al fin entre celajes
del firmamento la aurora,
y con sus reflejos dora
los esplendidos paisajes;
los verdinegros ramajes,
toda natura a porfía,
lucen tras la noche umbria,
su rutilante verdor,
su corola abre la flor,
saludando al Nuevo dia.
[En verso de Jose Gonzalez Reyes, 1913]
Dawn
Dawn peers at last
among the clouds of heaven,
its reflections splendor
to landscape bring;
Green and black branches,
to all nature it persists
shines after the dark night,
It’s verdant greenery
it’s crown of light opens the flower
Greeting the New day.
[Translation into English, Derek M. Reyes]
