Las acacias

Las acacias blancas son
A la vera del camino
Como un viejo peregrino
Apoyado en su bordón.

Y las acacias rosadas,
Manos gráciles tendidas
Para coronar las vidas
Con guirnaldas perfumadas!

¡Quien pudiera ser acacia
Y en la senda del amor
Deshojarse en lenta gracia,
Fibra a fibra, flor a flor!
