here are a few of the Andalusian songs from the Federico Garcia Lorca "Deep Song and Other Prose" lectures
Garcia Lorca:  "The true poems of deep song belong to no one-they float in the wind like golden thistledown, and each generation dresses them in a different color and passes them on to the next.


Asturian song

Ah, I have lost the road
on this sad mountain.
Ah, I have lost the road.
Let me bring the sheep
for God's sake into your cabin;
in the thick clouds
I lost the road.
Let me spend the night
in the cabin with you.
I lost the road
in the mountain mist
Ah, I have lost the road.

Andalusian song

Out in the sea
was a stone,
and my girl sat down
to tell it her pains.

Only to the Earth
do I tell my troubles,
for there is no one in the world
whom I can trust.

Every morning I go
to ask the rosemary
if love's disease can be cured,
for I am dying.

Andalusian song

I climbed up the wall.
The wind answered me,
"why so many sighs,
if it is already too late?"

The breeze wept
when he saw the deep wounds
in my heart.

I fell in love with the air,
the air of a woman,
and since a woman is air,
in the air I stayed.

I am jealous of the breeze
that touches your face.
If the breeze were a man,
I would kill him.

I'm not afraid to row.
If I wanted to row I'd do it.
I'm just afraid of the wind
that comes out of your bay.

Sonnet XXV
  
Before I loved you, love, nothing was my own:
I wavered through the streets, among
Objects:
Nothing mattered or had a name:
The world was made of air, which waited.

I knew rooms full of ashes,
Tunnels where the moon lived,
Rough warehouses that growled 'get lost',
Questions that insisted in the sand.

Everything was empty, dead, mute,
Fallen abandoned, and decayed:
Inconceivably alien, it all

Belonged to someone else - to no one:
Till your beauty and your poverty
Filled the autumn plentiful with gifts.

Pablo Neruda

The Question
  
Love, a question
has destroyed you.

I have come back to you
from thorny uncertainty.

I want you straight as
the sword or the road.

But you insist
on keeping a nook
of shadow that I do not want.

My love,
understand me,
I love all of you,
from eyes to feet, to toenails,
inside,
all the brightness, which you kept.

It is I, my love,
who knocks at your door.
It is not the ghost, it is not
the one who once stopped
at your window.
I knock down the door:
I enter your life:
I come to live in your soul:
you cannot cope with me.

You must open door to door,
you must obey me,
you must open your eyes
so that I may search in them,
you must see how I walk
with heavy steps
along all the roads
that, blind, were waiting for me.

Do not fear,
I am yours,
but
I am not the passenger or the beggar,
I am your master,
the one you were waiting for,
and now I enter
your life,
no more to leave it,
love, love, love,
but to stay.

Pablo Neruda

Night Of Lost Dreams

He tried to write them
but the words would not come
only the visions from  his constricting
heart and weary eyes came to him -

eyes that saw the final step - The End,
the final step that lead to the end and
the beginning - His Hell At Last

With that final desperate act grown
from his love, hope and dreams -
his need and pain - he put away his dreams.

Months, or was it years later that he finally arrived at -

My Eyes Can Once Again Open -
