Poems by Jose Asuncion Silva
Nocturne III
... one night in which fantastic fireflies burnt in the humid nuptial shadows, ...
Suspiro (Yearning)
... Instead seek me out in the kingdom of the dead ...
Dusk
... That people the dreams all children have, ...
Butterflies
... Evening sky Or opaline glimmer ...
The Woodsmen Of San Juan
... Sawing on! Straddling his grandmothers firm knees, ...
For The Reader's Ear
... When, shaken by loves power, it trembles, ...
Chrysalises
... If the winged butterfly, I thought, leaves ...
Childhood
... And overhead The star that led them from afar ...
