Por doquiera que mi alma
navega, o anda, o vuela, todo, todo
es suyo. ¡Qué tranquila
en todes partes, siempre;
ahora en la proa alta
que abre en dos platas el azul profundo,
bajando al fondo o ascendiendo al cielo!
¡Oh, qué serena el alma
cuando se ha apoderado,
como una reina solitaria y pura,
de su imperio infinito!
La musica, los muertos y las estrellas

¡Esta desilusión penetrante y amarga,
que empieza con la noche y empieza con el día!
¡este horror de vivir una vida tan larga,
siendo tan corta! - ¡y quieta y dorada y vacía!
¡Sentir el alma llena de flor y de simiente
y ver llegar el hielo negativo y eterno!
...¡y saber, sin embargo, que era capaz la frente
de deslumbrar la tierra... y el cielo y el infierno!

¿Esta música que tocan
en la velada del pueblo,
llega hasta la luna blanca
y triste del cementerio?
Las casas están cerradas,
nadie pasa... allá en el cielo
tiemblan, lejanas y mudas,
las estrellas... ¡Oh! ¡los muertos
que con sus bocas, un día
rojas de sangre, rieron
a esta hora, cuando el vals
se abría hacia los luceros!
Muertos que yo conocí,
que me besé, que me diéron
su mano, que se vestían
de seda roa y...
Silencio
para siempre... están cerradas
las puertas; allá en el cielo
conversan lejanamente
las estrellas. Y está el pueblo
blanco de luna y azul
de madrugada y de sueño,
al son de esta vieja música
que llega hasta el cementerio.
