Rima XCVI

by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer
translated by H. Landman


In order to find your face
I looked to the sky
for it is not fitting that your image
be found on the ground;
if it came from there,
the search for its origin
is not delusional.
Para encontrar tu rostro
miraba al cielo
que no es bien que tu imagen
se halle en el suelo;
si de allí vino,
el buscaba su origen
no es desvarío.
