Antonio Machado - On the banks of the Duero

...... was mid July. It was a beautiful day.
I, alone, the stony ground by bankruptcies up, looking
shadow bends slowly.
At intervals I paused to wipe my brow
and give some respite to the chest heaving,
or, grievously step
body forward and towards the right hand up and leaning on a cane
, by way of pastoral staff,
climbed the hills to live birds of prey
high, trampling the grass Rangers
strong-smelling rosemary, thyme, sage, lavender. On the citrus fields
fell blazing sun.
...... A hawk with broad wings with a majestic solo flight
crossed the pure blue sky.
I could see, far, a high mountain, sharp and a round mound
which embroidered coat, and blue
hillsides on the brown earth scattered
-rags of an old war-harness,
the bald Serrezuela where Duero
twists to form the crooked bow of an archer
about Soria. -Soria is a barbican,
to Aragon, which has the English tower.
saw the horizon darkened
closed by hills crowned with oak and oak;
bare crags, some humble meadow where the merino
pace and the bull, kneeling on the grass
, rumination, the banks of river
show off their green poplars to clear summer sun,
and silently, far passengers
so tiny! -Cars, horse and mule drivers, "
cross the long bridge, and under the stone arches
darken the silvery waters
del Duero.
...... The Duero crosses the heart of oak and Iberia
Castilla.
...... ...... ...... Oh, sad and noble land,
of the high plains and barren and rocky, without plows
fields, groves and rivulets,
crumbling cities, roads with inns,
and astonished rustics without dances and songs are still
, leaving the dull home,
as your long rivers, Castile, to the sea!
...... Castilla miserable, dominating yesterday, wrapped in her rags
despises it ignores.
Wait, sleeping or dreaming? Does Gore
remember, when he had the fever of the sword?
Everything is moving, flowing, running, running, or tour;
change the sea and the mountains and the eye that sees them. Did
? About the ghost fields still stiff
of a people who put God on the war.
...... mother once fertile captains,
stepmother is now just humble drudges. Castilla
is not so generous that one day, when Myo Cid
Rodrigo de Vivar the back,
proud of his new wealth, and opulence,
to give to the orchards of Valencia Alfonso;
or after the adventure accredited their brightness,
called for the conquest of the Indians
immense rivers to the court, the mother of soldiers, warriors and leaders
have to turn, charged
silver and gold to Spain, royal galleons,
for prey crows for the fight lions. Philosophers
convent soup nourished
idly contemplate the vast firmament;
and if they come in dreams, like a distant rumor,
spring clamor of merchants from the Levant,
not come even ask what happens?
And the war has opened the doors of your home.
...... Castilla miserable, dominating yesterday, wrapped in her rags
despises it ignores.
...... The sun is declining.
distant city I get a harmonious sound of bell
-and go to their bereaved old Rosary. Among the rocks
out two pretty weasels;
look at me and away, run, and appear
again, so curious! ... The fields are obscured. By the way
target is the inn open
the darkened field and the stony desert.
