by Federico García Lorca (1898 - 1936)
Escena
Language: Spanish (Español)
Altas torres.
Largos ríos.
Hada
Toma el anillo de bodas
que llevaron tus abuelos.
Cien manos, bajo la tierra,
lo están echando de menos.
Yo
Voy a sentir en mis manos
una inmensa flor de dedos
y el símbolo del anillo.
No lo quiero.
Altas torres.
Largos ríos.
