Juana
Son agudos los tonos del matiz de las yemas.
Aquí, , revienta un brote de reborde escarlata.
Más allá, estallan hojas de un verdor amarillo.
Todo el bosque susurra tan alegre y tan joven
Que en sus trescientos años recién hecho parece.
Con jovial optimismo se han llenado las ramas
De apretados manojos de capullos y hojas.
Y, sin embargo, observa cómo en los recios troncos
Se ven las llagas secas de las ramas cortadas
Y los pardos muñones de los troncos robustos
Que amputaron un día fatal los leñadores.
Más la selva es de una mansedumbre evangélica.

Wilton Agnew Barrett: "A New England Church"
THE WHITE church on the hill
Looks over the little bay --
A beautiful thing on the hill
When the mist is gray;
When the hills look old, and the air turns cold
With the dying day!
The white church on the hill --
A Greek in a Puritan town --
Was built on the brow of the hill
For John Wesley's God's renown,
And a conscience old set a steeple cold
On its Grecian crown.
In a storm of faith on the hill
Hands raised it over the bay
When the night is clear on the hill,
It stands up strong and gray;
But its door is old, and the tower points cold
To the Milky Way.
The white church on the hill
Looks lonely over the town
Dim to them under the hill
Is its God's renown,
And its Bible old, and its creed grown cold
And the letters brown.
