The Book of Questions - Pablo Neruda

    
Why don't the immense airplanes fly around with their children?
Which yellow bird fills its nest with lemons?
    
Why don’t they train helicopters to suck honey from the sunlight?
Where did the full moon leave its sack of flour tonight?
   
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?
   
What is it that upsets the volcanoes that spit fire, cold and rage?
Why wasn't Christopher Columbus able to discover Spain?
   
How many questions does a cat have?
  
How long does a rhinoceros last after he's moved to compassion?
What's new for the leaves of recent spring?
  
In winter, do the leaves live in hiding with the roots?
What did the tree learn from the earth to be able to talk with the sky?

  
Thanks for watching !
