Love Sonnet LXXIX
Pablo Neruda
By night,Love, tie your heart to mine, and the two
together in their sleep will defeat the darkness
like a double drum in the forest,pounding
against the thick wall of wet leaves.
Night travel:black flame of sleep
that snips the threads of the earth's grapes,
punctual as a headlong train that would haul
shadows and cold rocks,endlessly.
Because of this,Love,tie me to a purer motion,
to the constancy that beats in your chest
with the wings of a swan underwater,
so that our sleep might answer all the sky's
starry questions with a single key,
with a single door the shadows had closed.
