Rima XLVII

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!

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!
