The most beautiful fairy
has smiled on seeing the pale light of a star,
in the thread soft, white and silent
is screwed to the spindle of his blonde sister.
And smile again because
her distaff the thread of the fields are tangled.
After the thin curtain of the alcove is the garden
wrapped in golden light.
The cradle, almost in shadow.
The child is sleeping. Two fairies
accompanying laborious,
spinning dreams of the subtle
flakes in ivory and silver spinning wheels.
" Dreams", Antonio Machado .
