Poesia kaiera
Dafne
Zertan jarraitzen didazu…?
Bat-batean, egin kontu,
Bihur naiteke erramu.
Bat-batean ehizaldian
Utzi ahal dizut besoetan
Adar gorrail bat nire ordean.
Baina mendiz eta sakanez
Jarraitu gura didazunez,
Banoa; Apolo: presta zaitez!
Daphne
Why do you follow me?— / Any moment I can be / Nothing but a laurel-tree. // Any moment of the chase / I can leave you in my place / A pink bough for your embrace. // Yet if over hill and hollow / Still it is your will to follow, / I am off;—to heel, Apollo!
