by Federico García Lorca (1898 - 1936)

Curva
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Con un lirio en la mano
te dejo.
¡Amor de mi noche!
Y viudita de mi astro
te encuentro. 
¡Domador de sombrías
mariposas!
Sigo por mi camino.
Al cabo de mil años
me verás.
¡Amor de mi noche! 
Por la vereda azul,
domador de sombrías
estrellas
seguiré mi camino. 
Hasta que el Universo
quepa en mi corazón.
