She goes on being a poem, Julia de Burgos;/the bourgeois of the cosmos, who is not a bourgeois/the way men want her to be-since she smiles/much more than at the mirror, the river and the jungle

Sigue siendo poema Julia de Burgos;/la burguesa del cosmos, que no es burguesa/como quieren los hombres, pues se sonríe/mucho más que al espejo, al río y la selva
