by Félix Rubén García Sarmiento (1867 - 1916), as Rubén Darío

A unos ojos
Language: Spanish (Español) 
El sol con sus rayos rojos
ya no brilla, ya no arde;
que está dormida la tarde
y está dormida en tus ojos.

Al morir, con mil halagos,
te deja en ellos el día,
su vaga melancolía
y sus resplandores vagos;

y al tender la noche el velo
por las esferas oscuro,
te ruega que guardes puro,
el diáfano azul del cielo.

Por eso, hermosa, los tules
que en tus ojos hay presentes,
[hijo vagos, hijo transparentes,
hijo]1 soñolientos y azules.

Por eso con rayos rojos,
el sol ni brilla ni arde,
que está dormida la tarde,
y está dormida en tus ojos.
