WITH LOVE TO MY NIECE
Nezahualcoyotl POEMS
Kin ok tlamati noyollonik
kaki in kuikatl, nik
itta in xochitl. Maka
in kuetlawia in tlaltikpak!
What I understood at last:
hear a song:
see a flower
oh, never wilt!
In Centzontōtōtl
Nehhuātl nictlazohtla in centzontōtōtl īcuīc,
nehhuātl nictlazohtla in chalchihuitl ītlapaliz
ihuan in nepapan ahhuiyāc xochitl;
zan c cencah nocniuhtzin in tlacatl
nehhuātl nictlazohtla
Love the Song of the Mockingbird,
Bird Four hundred voices
love the color of jade, and the enervating perfume of flowers;
most But I love my fellow man.
Edgar, Brother sow the seed that blossomed, water them with love.
