Soneto XXIII

En tanto que de rosa y azucena
se muestra la color en vuestro gesto,
y que vuestro mirar ardiente, honesto,
enciende al corazón y lo refrena;

y en tanto que el cabello, que en la vena
del oro se escogió, con vuelo presto,
por el hermoso cuello blanco, enhiesto,
el viento mueve, esparce y desordena:

coged de vuestra alegre primavera
el dulce fruto, antes que el tiempo airado
cubra de nieve la hermosa cumbre.

Marchitará la rosa el viento helado,
todo lo mudará la edad ligera
por no hacer mudanza en su costumbre.

Garcilaso de la Vega

Garcilaso de la Vega (~ 1500-1536) was a famous poet and writer from Spain. The following is one of his sonnets.

Sonnet XXIII

While rose and lily

the color is shown in your gesture,

and that your ardent, honest look,

ignites the heart and restrains it;

and as long as the hair, that in the vein

the gold was chosen, with swift flight,

for the beautiful white collar, upright,

the wind moves, scatters and messes up:

take your joyful spring

the sweet fruit, before the angry time

cover the beautiful summit with snow.

The icy wind will wither the rose,

light age will change everything

for not moving in his habit.
