So true and fitting of Becquer's poetry...
Volverán las oscuras golondrinas" is a poem by Spanish poet Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer. The poem is a nostalgic reflection on the transience of life and the idea that love and happiness will eventually return. The title, which translates to "The Dark Swallows Will Return," refers to the birds as symbols of the cyclical nature of life.
Poem:
Volverán las oscuras golondrinas
en tu balcón sus nidos a colgar,
y otra vez con el ala a sus cristales
jugando llamarán.
Pero aquellas que el vuelo refrenaban
tu hermosura y mi dicha a contemplar,
aquellas que aprendieron nuestros nombres....
ésas... ¡no volverán!
Volverán las tupidas madreselvas
de tu jardín las tapias a escalar
y otra vez a la tarde aún más hermosas
sus flores se abrirán.
Pero aquellas cuajadas de rocío
cuyas gotas mirábamos temblar
y caer como lágrimas del día....
ésas... ¡no volverán!
Volverán del amor en tus oídos
las palabras ardientes a sonar,
tu corazón de su profundo sueño
tal vez despertará.
Pero mudo y absorto y de rodillas
como se adora a Dios ante su altar,
como yo te he querido..., desengáñate,
así... ¡no te querrán!

The dark swallows will return
to your balcony to hang their nests,
and again with their wings to their windows
playing they will call.
But those whose flight restrained
your beauty and my joy from contemplating,
those who learned our names....
those... will not return!
The bushy honeysuckles
in your garden will return to climbing the walls
and again in the afternoon
their flowers will open even more beautiful.
But those curdled dew
whose drops we watched tremble
and fall like tears of the day....
those... will not return!
The burning words will return to sound from love in your ears , your heart will perhaps awaken
from its deep sleep .
But mute and absorbed and on your knees
as one worships God before his altar,
as I have loved you..., disabuse yourself,
like this... they will not love you!
