Where Is The Heavenly Pilgrim Going?

Tonight St. James has passed
His light path in the sky.
It is said by the children playing
With the water of a serene stream.

Where is the heavenly pilgrim going
By the clear infinite path?
He goes to the dawn that shines in the background
on white horse like ice.

Federico García Lorca, "Naive ballad" (fragment), July 25, 1918.
