william woolworth 1770-1850

ESPLENDOR EN LA HIERBA



AUNQUE MIS OJOS YA NO PUEDAN
VER ESE  PURO DESTELLO QUE EN MI 
 JUVENTUD ME DESLUMBRABA


                                                     
                                                                              

AUNQUE YA NADA PUEDE DEVOLVER
LA HORA DEL ESPLÉNDOR EN LA HIERBA
DE LA GLORIA DE LAS FLORES

                                                         NO HAY QUE AFLIGIRSE
                                                         PORQUE LA BELLEZA SIEMPRE PERDURA                                                          EN EL RECUERDO


"What though the radiance with was once so
bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strengh in what remains behind"
