But the houses are, you want!, and the stairs
still packed with people and lights,
and they always do in the village Christmas, New Year and Carnival.
And I, who also left
I think of them and I am nominated:
friends and companions, near and far,
I had said goodbye to gates and love,
I had forgotten about all of you.
But the country continues its history
«under the starry sky leaf by leaf
for those who leave if they want to return.

(1952)
