12. 'Summer', by Gabriela Mistral
Summer, summer king,
of the incandescent embrace,
I know for the reapers
Oven owner! More lenient.
Lowered and folded
on its poor ears,
they already faint. You're the boss
a wind of friendly wings!
Summer, the earth scorches:
call your sun up there;
call your grenade open;
and the reaper, a living flame.
Lives are tired
of producing abundant
and the river runs away
of your fiery punishment.
13. 'July', by Manuel Machado
Betis street. Triana.
penetrates the chill
from the chattering fountain.
The Evening of Santa Ana
the river fills with music.
With Rocío's eyes
the window lights up.
Of envy, seeing her, a star,
in the endless heights,
shuddering shines.
And it turns off when she
comes out wrapped in the garden
of his Manila shawl.
14. 'Summer night', by Antonio Machado
It's a beautiful summer night.
They have the tall houses
the balconies open
from the old town to the wide plaza.
In the wide deserted rectangle,
stone benches, jerónimos and acacias
symmetrical draw
their black shadows on the white sand.
At the zenith, the moon, and on the tower,
the illuminated clock face.
I in this old town walking
Alone like a ghost
