by Juan Crisóstomo Ruiz de Nervo (1870 - 1919), as Amado Nervo

Silenciosamente miraré tus ojos
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Silenciosamente miraré tus ojos,
silenciosamente cogeré tus manos,
silenciosamente,
cuando el sol poniente
nos bañe en sus rojos
fuegos soberanos,
posaré mis labios en tu limpia frente
y nos besaremos como dos hermanos.

Ansío ternuras castas y cordiales
dulces e indulgenta rostros compasivos,
manos tibias… ¡tibias manos fraternales!
ojos claros… ¡claros ojos pensativos!
Ansío regazos que a entibiar empiecen
mis otoños; almas que conmigo oren,
labios virginales que conmigo recen
¡diafanas pupilas que conmigo lloren!
