El Poeta Leva El Ancla (Weighing The Anchor)

Spanish

 

El ancla de oro canta…la vela azul asciende

Como el ala de un sueño abierta al nuevo día.

Partamos, musa mía!

Ante lo prora alegre un bello mar se extiende.

 

En el oriente claro como un cristal, esplende

El fanal sonrosado de Aurora. Fantasía

Estrena un raro traje lleno de pedrería

para vagar brillante por las olas.

 

Ya tiende

La vela azul a Eolo su oriflama de raso…

El momento supremo!…Yo me estremezco; acaso

Sueño lo que me aguarda en los mundos no vistos!…

 

Acaso un fresco ramo de laureles fragantes,

El toison reluciente, el cetro de diamantes,

El naufragio o la eterna corona de los Cristos?…

 

 

English

 

The golden anchor beckons, the blue sail rises

Like the wing of a dream unfolding to a new day.

Let us depart, my muse!

Beyond an anxious prow, the sea stretches itself out.

 

In the crystal clear East, Aurora's

Blushed beacon shines. Fantasy

Is donning a rare garment of gems

To wander brilliantly over the waves.

 

The blue sail

Unfolds its private oriflamme to ******

The supreme moment!…I tremble: do I know–

Oh God!–what awaits me in unseen worlds?

 

Perhaps a freshly picked bouquet of fragrant laurels,

The golden fleece, a diamond scepter,

A shipwreck, or the eternal crown of the Anointed Ones?…
