    My First Inspiration
    Why falls so rich a spray Why in the grass below
    of fragrance from the do birds start at the wind's
    bowers noises,
    of the balmy flowers unleashing their honeyed
    upon this festive day? voices
    as they hop from bough to
    Why from woods and vales bough?
    do we hear sweet measures
    ringing Why should the spring that
    that seem to be the singing glows
    Why seems to me more And the spring that rings
    endearing, with laughter
    more fair than on other days, upon this joyful day
    the dawn's enchanting face with its murmur seems to
    among red clouds say:
    appearing?  "Live happily ever after!"

    The reason, dear mother, is And from that spring in the


    they feast your day of grove
    bloom: now turn to hear the first
    To the Filipino Youth

    • Originally written in Spanish (A La Juvetud Filipina)

    • He made it during his studies at the University of the Sto.


    Tomas

    • He published it on 1879
    To the Filipino Youth
    Unfold, oh timid flower! 
    Descend with the pleasing light
    Lift up your radiant brow, Of the arts and sciences to the
    This day, Youth of my native plain,
    strand!  Oh Youth, and break forthright
    Your abounding talents show The links of the heavy chain
    Resplendently and grand, That your poetic genius enchain.
    Fair hope of my Motherland! 
    See that in the ardent zone,
    Soar high, oh genius great, The Spaniard, where shadows
    And with noble thoughts fill their stand,
    mind; Doth offer a shining crown,
    The honor's glorious seat, With wise and merciful hand
    May their virgin mind fly and find To the son of this Indian land.
    More rapidly than the wind.
    You at th' impulse of your mind
    You, who heavenward rise
    The hard rock animate
    On wings of your rich fantasy,
    And your mind with great pow'r
    Seek in the Olympian skies
    consigned
    The tenderest poesy,
    Transformed into immortal state
    More sweet than divine honey;
    The pure mem'ry of genius great;
    You of heavenly harmony,
    And you, who with magic brush
    On a calm unperturbed night,
    On canvas plain capture
    Philomel's match in melody,
    The varied charm of Phoebus,
    That in varied symphony
    Loved by the divine Apelles,
    Dissipate man's sorrow's blight;
    And the mantle of Nature;
    Run ! For genius' sacred flame
    Awaits the artist's crowning
    Spreading far and wide the fame
    Throughout the sphere proclaiming
    With trumpet the mortal's name
    Oh, joyful, joyful day,
    The Almighty blessed be
    Who, with loving eagerness
    Sends you luck and happiness.
