NOCTURNAL DIVAGATION

Autor del poema: León de Greiff Translated by Valentin Kielland
The memory of you glitters in my soul 9
like the moon on the sea... 7
In the still of my nights 5
I hear your voice whisper, 7
your voice telling me softly 7
that you don't want to forget me... 8
In the still of my nights, 5
—Like the moon on the sea— 7
the memory of you glitters in my soul... 9
I see the lambent flicker 7
of the stars, in your eyes. 7
The warm escenting of your tenebrous 10
tresses enraptures me... 7
Your forehead —a lunar miracle— 10
Uncovers the sheer yearnings 7
of your love, of your dreaming 8
My lonely hours pursue 5
your memory in a whirl 6
of dreams and deluded dreams 7
(Can't we fulfill them...?) 5
Melancholic illusory reverie 10
that justifies the vegetation 9
of my proud soul, 3
of my singular spirit... 6
Melancholic illusory reverie 10
(Can't we fulfill it...?) 5
The memory of you glitters in my soul... 9
I feel on my lips the palpitation 9
of the tremolous and perennial kiss 10
with which we will kiss each other... 8
I see in your eyes of mystery 8
—As if they were to cry...— 6
The entire poem of the life 9
which we could not fulfill... 6
In your nocturnal hair 6
—Nards and lijes and orange blossoms— 10
I inhale all the perfumes 9
with which I wish to benumb 7
my chimeric pantomime 7
of dreaming and dreaming and dreaming! 9
In your fair slender figure 8
is all the eurhythmy of rhyming... 6
Your pale hands 4
—It seems as if it was about to snow... — 10
Your hands, languid and frail, 6
a pair of incomparable lilies! 10
Your hands, that blessed 5
with its forgiveness, my ramble 8
on arduous dark roads 5
and easy ways of sin... 5
The memory of you glitters in my soul 9
like the moon on the sea... 7
In the still of my nights 5
I hear your voice whisper... 7
Your voice telling me softly 7
That you don’t want to forget me! 8
I feel in my hazy forehead 7
The touch of your mowy hands.. 6
I feel in my ireful gelid forehead 11
The soothing palpitation 7
Of your lips, which efface guilts 8
and desire to forgive me. 9
Melancholic illusory reverie 10
of my incoherent ramble! 7
Absurd fantasy 4
of my singular spirit! 6
Ingenuous delirium that turns 8
—Ironic and hard— into sorrow... 9
Melancholic illusory reverie 10
That we can’t fulfill...! 5
The memory of you glitters in my soul 9
Like the moon on the sea...! 7
