TO THE SUN BECAUSE IT ROSE WHILE HE WAS WITH A WOMAN AND HE HAD TO LEAVE HER

Autor del poema: Luis de Góngora y Argote, 1582 Translation by Alix Ingber
Already kissing two crystalline hands, 9
already clinging to a white, smooth neck, 10
already scattering 'round it all that hair, 10
which Love from the gold in its mines had torn; 12
already breaking on those precious pearls 10
a thousand sweet words, not deserving it, 10
already plucking from each lovely lip 9
crimson roses with no fear of thorns, 9
was I, oh shimmering and jealous Sun, 10
when your light, shattering my eyes, 8
killed my delight and stopped what I'd begun. 11
If heaven has not yet become too weak, 11
in order that yours cease to give me pain, 12
may its rays kill you as they did your son. 10
