Can you find me this poem by Pable Neruda?

I need it for a course. It talks about a woman being silent. I don't remember the title in Spanish or in English.

    It must be Me gustas cuando callas.

    First lines:

    Me gustas cuando callas porque estás como ausente,

    y me oyes desde lejos, y mi voz no te toca.

    Parece que los ojos se te hubieran volado

    y parece que un beso te cerrara la boca.

    Pablo Neruda

    WHITE BEE

    White bee, you buzz in my soul, drunk with honey

    and your flight winds in slow spirals of smoke.

    I am the one without hope, the word without echoes,

    he who lost everything and he who had everything.

    Last hawser, in you creaks my last longing.

    In my barren land you are the final rose.

    Ah you who are silent!

    Let your deep eyes close. There the night flutters.

    Ah your body, a frightened statue, naked.

    You have deep eyes in which the night flails.

    Cool arms of flowers and a lap of rose.

    Your breasts seem like white snails.

    A butterfly of shadow has come to sleep on your belly.

    Ah you who are silent!
