by Antonio de Villegas (c1522 - c1551)

En la peña, sobre la peña
Language: Spanish (Español) 
En la peña, sobre la peña,
duerme la niña y sueña.

La niña, que amor había,
de amores se transportaba,
con su amigo se soñaba,
soñaba, mas no dormía;
que la dama enamorada
y en la peña,
no duerme, si amores sueña.

El corazón se altera
con el sueño en que se vio;
si no vio lo que soñó,
soñó lo que ver quisiera;
hace representación
en la peña
de todo el sueño que sueña.

Sueños son que, Amor, envías
a los que traes desveldos,
pagas despiertos cuidados
con fingidas alegrías;
quien muere de hambre los días,
las noches manjares sueña
suso en la peña.
