Last night as I was sleeping.....Antonio Machado

Last night as I was sleeping, 

I dreamt that a spring was breaking out in my heart.

I said: Along which secret aqueduct, oh water, 

are you coming to me, water of a new life

That I have never drunk?

Last night as I was sleeping, I dreamt that I had a beehive here inside my heart.

And the golden bees were making white combs and sweet honey from all of my old failures.

Last night as I was sleeping I dreamt that a fiery sun was giving light inside my heart.

It was fiery because I felt warmth as from a hearth, 

and sun because it gave light

And brought tears to my eyes.

Last night I dreamt that it was God I felt inside my heart

Last night as I was sleeping 

I dreamt that I had a beehive here inside my heart

And the golden bees were making white combs 

and sweet honey from all of my old stories.

---Antonio Machado
