Casida de la Rosa

La rosa
no buscaba la aurora:
casi eterna en su ramo,
buscaba otra cosa.

La rosa,
no buscaba ni ciencia ni sombra:
confín de carne y sueño,
buscaba otra cosa.

La rosa,
no buscaba la rosa.
Inmóvil por el cielo
buscaba otra cosa.

by Federico García Lorca (1898-1936) , "Casida de la rosa", from Divan del Tamarit, in Casidas, no. 7, published 1936
