Description
This image was inspired on one of my favourite poems written by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer...Spanish poet (1836-1870)
Volverán las oscuras golondrinas
Volverán las oscuras golondrinas
en tu balcón sus nidos a colgar,
y otra vez con el ala a sus cristales
jugando llamarán;
pero aquéllas que el vuelo refrenaban
tu hermosura y mi dicha a contemplar,
aquellas que aprendieron nuestros nombres...
ésas... ¡no volverán!
Volverán las tupidas madreselvas
de tu jardín las tapias a escalar,
y otra vez a la tarde, aun más hermosas,
sus flores se abrirán;
pero aquellas cuajadas de rocío,
cuyas gotas mirábamos temblar
y caer, como lágrimas de día...
ésas... ¡no volverán!
Volverán de amor en tus oidos
las palabras ardientes a sonar;
tu corazón, de su profundo sueño
tal vez despertará;
pero mudo y absorto y de rodillas,
como se adora a Dios ante su altar,
como yo te he querido... desengáñate:
¡así no te querrán!
***********************************
The dark swallows will come back
The dark swallows will come back again
to build their nests on your balcony,
and once more in their play they will knock
on the balcony windows with their wings;
but those ones who refrained their flight
to see your beauty and my happiness,
those ones who learnt our names...
those... those will not come back again!
The massed honeysuckles will come back again
to climb up the walls of your garden,
and at evening once again, even lovelier,
their blossoms will open out;
but those ones that were soaked in dew,
whose drops we watched tremble
and fall, like daytime tears...
those... those will not come back again!
The burning words of love
will sound in your ears again;
your heart will awaken, perhaps,
from its heavy sleep;
but mute and engrossed and kneeling,
just as God is adored before his altar,
the way I loved you... don't deceive yourself:
you won't be loved like that again!

Beautiful..we are waiting for our purple martins who return every year to build new families in our martin gourds. They usually come about the 7th of February but this year it is too rainy to get them down to clean out. They were late last year so maybe we will make it in time. They are an endangered species and we get fewer every year.
beautiful especially the words.
Wow Innes what a beautiful and emotional poem and your image fits perfect brilliant work hugs lou x
