RUBEN DARI O, FELI X RUBEN (1867- 1916)

7. Song of Hope
Vultures a-wing have sullied the glory of
the sky;
The winds bear on their pinions the horror
of Death's
cry;
Assassinating one another, men rage and
fall and die.
Has Antichrist arisen whom John at Patmos
saw?
5Portents are seen and marvels that fill the
world with awe,
And Christ's return seems pressing, come to
fulfill the Law.
7. Canto de Esperanza
Un gran vuelo de cuervos mancha el azul
celeste.
Un soplo milenario trae amagos de peste.
Se asesinan los hombres en el extremo Este.
!Ha nacido el apocal?ptico Anticristo?
5Se han sabido presagios y prodigios se han
visto
y parece inminente el retorno de Cristo.
