Rima XLVII. Yo me he asomado...
Yo me he asomado a las profundas simas
de la tierra y del cielo
y les he visto el fin con los ojos
o con el pensamiento.
Mas, ¡ay! de un corazón llegué al abismo,
y me incliné por verlo,
y mi alma y mis ojos se turbaron:
¡tan hondo era y tan negro!
Rhyme XLVII. I have been mystified...
I have been mystified by the deep abysses
of the earth and the sky
and have seen their ends with my eyes
or with my thoughts.
But, ay! I arrived at the abyss of a heart,
and I leaned over to see,
and my soul and my eyes were dumbfounded:
so deep it was and so black!
