Autumn Song by William Brighty Rands

                      



AUTUMN SONG

The ash-berry clusters are darkly red;
The leaves of the limes are almost shed;
The passion-flower hangs out her yellow fruit;
The sycamore puts on her brownest suit.

After a silence, the wind complains,
Like a creature longing to burst its chains.
The swallows are gone, I saw them gather;
I heard them murmuring of the weather.

The clouds move fast, the south is blowing;
The sun is slanting; the year is going;
I love to walk where the leaves lie dead,
And hear them rustle beneath my tread.

VOCABULARY:
ashberry- serbal
sycamore- sicomoro
swallow- golondrina (also "tragar")
slant- inclinarse
rustle- crujir
tread- pisada (verb: tread- trod- trodden)

A POISON TREE by Willialm Blake



 A Poison Tree

I was angry with my friend; 
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe
I told it not, my wrath did grow. 

And I waterd it in fears,
Night & morning with my tears: 
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles

And it grew both day and night. 
Till it bore an apple bright. 
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine. 

And into my garden stole, 
When the night had veild the pole; 
In the morning glad I see; 
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

wrath- ira
foe-enemigo
To sun- poner al sol 
deceitful- engañoso
wiles- artimañas
To bear-bore-born- dar fruto
To behold- beheld- beheld-  contemplar
To veil- cubrir con un velo
outstretched- extendido
