by Ramón López Velarde (1888 - 1921)

Y pensar que pudimos...
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Y pensar que extraviamos
la senda milagrosa
en que se hubiera abierto
nuestra ilusión, como perenne rosa...

Y pensar que pudimos
enlazar nuestras manos
y apurar en un beso
la comunión de fértiles veranos...

Y pensar que pudimos
en una onda secreta
de embriaguez, deslizarnos,
valsando un vals sin fin, por el planeta...

Y pensar que pudimos,
al rendir la jornada,
desde la sosegada
sombra de tu portal y en una suave
conjunción de existencias,
ver las cintilaciones del Zodíaco
sobre la sombra de nuestras conciencias...
