by Ángel de Saavedra, Duque de Rivas (1791 - 1865)

Cantilena
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Our translations:  FRE
Por un alegre prado
De flores esmaltado,
Y de una clara fuente
Con la dulce corriente
De aljófares regado;
Mi dueño idolatrado
Iba cogiendo flores
Más bella y más lozana
Que ninfa de Diana.
Los risueños amores
En torno la cercaban,
Y en su falda jugaban.

Y en tanto que ella hermosa
Ora un clavel cogia,
Ora una linda rosa,
Ora un tierno jacinto;
Más flores producia
Aquel fresco recinto
Orgulloso y ufano:
Pues al punto otras tantas,
Como tronchó la mano
De mi dueño tirano,
Brotaron á sus plantas.

Confirmed with Obras completas de d. Ángel de Saavedra, duque de Rivas, Volume 1, Barcelona, Montaner y Simon, 1884, page 13.
