Sa mariposa - the moth

It happened on a stormy night
The charcoal brazier is glowing
A beautiful moth
Flies exhausted in my house
At once she starts flying frantically
Staying close to the lamp
She flies round it again and again
As though playing blind-man's buff
...

Paulicu Mossa (1821-1892)

I got the english translation out of the documentary "Tempus de baristas" by David MacDougall
