El mar sus millares de olas
mece divino.
Oyendo a los mares amantes
mezo a mi niño.

El viento errabundo en la noche
mece los trigos.
Oyendo a los vientos amantes
mezo a mi niño.

Dios padre sus miles de mundos
mece sin ruido.
Sintiendo su mano en la sombra
mezo a mi niño.

I Rock my Child

The sea divinely rocks its
thousands of waves.
Listening to the loving seas
I rock my child.

The wandering wind rocks the wheat
through the night.
Listening to the loving winds
I rock my child.

God the Father soundlessly rocks
his myriad worlds.
Feeling the touch of his hand in the dark
I rock my child.




Note: Gabriela Mistral never married, never had children, but is the vicarious mother of millions through the tender expressions of her love for them deep in her poetic soul.
