Pablo Neruda - The Horses

I came across a poem called "The Horses" about 3 years ago, I really liked it but I'm not even sure Pablo Neruda wrote it. It went something like this:
From my window, I saw the horses
It was in Berlin, one winter
The light was without light,
there was no sky in the sky..


That's all I can remember. Does anyone know which poem I'm talking about and do you know where I can get it? Thanks!

PABLO NERUDA
‘Horses’:

From the window I saw the horses.

I was in Berlin, in winter. The light
was without light, the sky skyless.

The air white like a moistened loaf.

From my window, I could see a deserted arena,
a circle bitten out by the teeth of winter.

All at once, led out by a single man,
ten horses were stepping, stepping into the snow.

I saw, I saw, and seeing, I came to life.
There was the unwitting fountain, the dance of gold, the sky,
the fire that sprang to life in beautiful things.

I have obliterated that gloomy Berlin winter.

I shall not forget the light from these horses.

Thank you! The one I read was a bit different, I guess the translator's different. Anyway you rock!
