Sweet honey

Anoche cuando dormia
soñe, bendita ilusion!,
que una colmena tenia
dentro de mi corazon;
y las doradas abejas
iban fabricando en el,
con las amarguras viejas
blanca cera y dulce miel.
Last night, as I was sleeping,
I dreamt--marvelous error!--
that I had a beehive
here inside my heart.
And the golden bees
were making white combs
and sweet honey
from my old failures.
