Oracion por Antonio
Misterioso y silenciosoiba una y otra vez.
Su mirada era tan profundaque apenas se podia ver.
Cuando hablaba tenia un dejode timidez y de altivez,y la luz de sus pensamientoscasi siempre se veía arder.
Era luminoso y profundocomo hombre de buena fe.
Fuera pastor de mil leonesy de corderos a la vez.
Conduciría tempestadeso traería un panal de miel.
Las maravillas de la viday del amor y del placercantaba en versos profundocuyo secreto era de el.
Montado en un raro Pegaso un día al imposible fue.
Ruego por Antonio a mis dioses.
Ellos le salven siempre.
Amén.
English
Antonio
Wrapped in silence, secret-shy,
Once and again he wandered by.
From such depth his glances
One could hardly see them flame.
When he spoke his accent would
Timidity and haughtiness,
And nearly always one could
His thoughts shining radiantly.
His faith was rooted on firm ground;
He used to be luminous and profound.
In the same flock
Lambs and lions he might have led;
He could have driven rambling gales,
Or brought honeycombs of tales.
The wonders of love and life and
Were his to sing in a magic measure,-In verses whose meaning was hidden deep,
Whose secret lay in his soul's keep.
He mounted a rare wing's hose one dayI pray to my Gods for Antonio:
May they keep him from all woe.
Amen.
