Rizal's Religious Poems
During his student days Rizal
expressed his devotion to his Catholic faith in melodious poetry. Al Niño Jesús( To The Child Jesus)
This poem was written in
1875 when he was 14 years old. Al Niño Jesus Spanish Version
¿Cómo, Dios-niño, has venido
A la tierra en pobre cuna?
¿Y te escarnece Fortuna, Cuando apenas has nacido? ¡Ay, triste! Del Cielo Rey Y llega cual vil humano! ¿No quieres ser soberano, Sino Pastor de tu grey? To The Child Jesus (A Translation from the Spanish by Nick Joaquin)
Why have you come to earth, Child-God, in
a poor manger? Does Fortune find you a stranger from the moment of your birth? Alas, of heavenly stock now turned an earthly resident! Do you not wish to be president but the shepherd of your flock? A La Virgen Maria (To The Virgin Mary)
Another religious poet which Rizal wrote . This
poem is undated, so that we do not know exactly when it was written. Probably he wrote it after his ode to the Child Jesus . A La Virgen Maria (To The Virgin Mary)
Mary, sweet peace, solace dear
Of pained mortal ! You're the fount Whence emanates the stream of succor, That without cease our soil fructifies.
From thy throne, from heaven high,
Kindly hear my sorrowful cry! And may thy shining veil protect My voice that rises with rapid flight.
Thou art my Mother, Mary, pure;
Thou'll be the fortress of my life; Thou'll be my guide on this angry sea. If ferociously vice pursues me, If in my pains death harasses me, Help me, and drive away my woes!
