Sonnet of the Sweet complaint, Federico García Lorca

The sonnet is a verse of Italian origin that was first used in Spain in the fifteenth century until the sixteenth century but did not adapt to our language successfully. Since then it has continued to use and here is an example of the twentieth century, the author Federico García Lorca. After listening and enjoy the poem, reflects and comments on the following aspects:
  1. What metric differences observed in relation to the sonnets views.
  2. What thematic overlap between FGLorca and Garcilaso.
  3. analyzes three metaphors and explains their meaning.

Sonnet of the Sweet Complaint

I have fear of losing the wonder

statue of your eyes and accent
at night puts me on the cheek
the solitary rose of your breath.

I have pain of being on this side
branchless trunk, and whatever else I feel
is having no flower, pulp, or clay
for the worm of my suffering.

If you are my hidden treasure,
if you are my cross, my dampened pain,
if I am the dog of your lordship,

not let me lose what I gained
and decorate your river waters
with leaves of my estranged Autumn.
