by Federico García Lorca (1898 - 1936)

Barrio de Córdoba : Tópico nocturno
Language: Spanish (Español) 
En la casa se defienden
de las estrellas.
La noche se derrumba.
Dentro hay una niña muerta
con una rosa encarnada
oculta en la cabellera.
Seis ruiseñores la lloran
en la reja.

Las gentes van suspirando
con las guitarras abiertas.
