by António Machado (1875 - 1939)

¡Oh tarde luminosa!
Language: Spanish (Español) 
    ¡Oh tarde luminosa! 
El aire está encantado. 
La blanca cigüeña 
dormita volando, 
y las golondrinas se cruzan, tendidas 
las alas agudas al viento dorado, 
y en la tarde risueña se alejan 
volando, soñando... 

   Y hay una que torna como la saeta, 
las alas agudas tendidas al aire sombrío, 
buscando su negro rincón del tejado. 

   La blanca cigüeña, 
como un garabato, 
tranquila y disforme, ¡tan disparatada!, 
sobre el campanario.
