Pablo Neruda / The Book of Questions, III

THE BOOK OF QUESTIONS, III
by Pablo Neruda
BIOGRAPHY
Translated by William O'Daly

III


Tell me, is the rose naked
or is that her only dress?

Why do trees conceal
the splendor of their roots?

Who hears the regrets
of the thieving automobile?

Is there anything in the world sadder 
than a train standing in the rain?
