by Antonio Maria Trueba De la Quintana (1819 - 1899)

Cantos de pájaros
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Tengo yo un pajarillo que el día pasa
Cantando entre las fl ores de mi ventana
Y un canto alegre a todo pasajero dedi-
ca siempre.

Tiene mi pajarillo siempre armonías
Para alegrar el alma del que camina
¡Oh cielo santo! Por qué no harán los
hombres lo que los pájaros.

Y yo sigo el ejemplo del ave mansa
Que canta entre las fl ores de mi ventana
Porque es sabido que poetas y pájaros
somos lo mismo.
