Ximenes [Spanish]
This is the song of birds,
Here is the song of water.
From top to bottom
Opened my heart.
The water shook the flowers,
Birds are rocking the stars.
From top to bottom
Trembling my heart.
(Translated by Tyrone Jiang, selected from the Dictionary of Appreciation of World Famous Poems)

Ximenes is not a modernist poet in the strict sense. He generally does not express obscure and dark anxiety, nor does he deliberately pursue grammatical deformation in language form. Song is one of his works that entered the mature stage of art. The thinking logic written in the upper and lower sections is the same. In the first section, from the singing of birds to the singing of water, scenes fall, and the mood is integrated with the outside world and subtly trembles. The topic is Song, and poetry is really like a ballad. The poet advocates the purity of poetry in art. From this little poem, we can see that there is no strong idea to join, and the poet is just describing his feelings about beauty.
The purity of poetry has lost its social significance, but the mature skills and artistic conception conveyed by this poem make us memorable.
