ELEGÍA DEL AÑO NUEVO (III)

 

III. He (she) goes free of the earth. 

The sun of his (her) last day sets 

clear in the sweetness of his (her) liberty. 

 

The earth recovers from his (her) dying, 

the hallow of his (her) life

 remaining in all his (her) death leaves. 

 

Radiances know him (her). Grown lighter 

than breath, he (she) is set free 

in our remembering. Grown brighter 

 

than vision, he (she) goes dark 

into the life of the hill 

that holds his (her) peace. 

 

He’s (she's) hidden among all that is, 

and cannot be lost.
