Light and Water by Juan Ramon Jimenez

The light above–golden,orange, green
among the vague clouds.

Ah, trees without leaves,
roots in water,
branches in light!

Underneath, the water–green, orange, golden
among the vague mist.

Among the vague mist, among the vague clouds,
light and water; what magic they vanish!

translated by Dennis Maloney
