In the Early Mornings

    In the early mornings
    during the month of May
    nightingales sing,
    echoing the field.

    In the early mornings,
    since they are fresh,
    nightingales cover
    the meadows.

    The fountains laugh
    throwing pearls
    to the little flowers
    that are nearby.

    The plants dress
    with various silk,
    bringing out color
    does not cost them much.

    The fields are brighten up
    by various mats,
    the nightingales sing,
    echoing the field.

    Lope de Vega
