Me encontré este niño cuando al campo iba: dormido lo he hallado en unas espigas... O tal vez ha sido cruzando la viña: buscando los pámpanos topé su mejilla... Y por eso temo, al quedar dormida, se evapore como la helada en las viñas...

Language: Spanish (Español)
Velloncito de mi carne, que en mi entraña yo tejí, velloncito friolento, ¡duérmete apegado a mí! La perdiz duerme en el trébol escuchándole latir: no te turben mis alientos, ¡duérmete apegado a mí! Hierbecita temblorosa asombrada de vivir, no te sueltes de mi pecho: ¡duérmete apegado a mí! Yo que todo lo he perdido ahora tiemblo de dormir. No resbales de mi brazo: ¡duérmete apegado a mí!

Language: Spanish (Español)
Este niño es un encanto parecido al fino viento: si dormido lo amamanto, que me bebe yo no siento. Es más travieso que el río y más suave que la loma: es mejor el hijo mío que este mundo al que se asoma. Es más rico, más, mi niño que la tierra y que los cielos: en mi pecho tiene armiño y en mi canto terciopelos... Y es su cuerpo tan pequeño como el grano de mi trigo; menos pesa que su sueño; no se ve y está conmigo.

Language: Spanish (Español)
Corderito mío, suavidad callada: mi pecho es tu gruta de musgo afelpada. Carnecita blanca, tajada de luna: lo he olvidado todo por hacerme cuna. Me olvidé del mundo y de mí no siento más que el pecho vivo con que te sustento, Yo sé de mí sòlo que en mí te recuestas. Tu fiesta, hijo mío, apagò las fiestas.

Language: Spanish (Español)
Esta era una rosa que abaja el rocío: este era mi pecho con el hijo mío. Junta sus hojitas para sostenerlo y esquiva los vientos por no desprenderlo. Porque él ha bajado desde el cielo inmenso será que ella tiene su aliento suspenso. De dicha se queda callada, callada: no hay rosa entre rosas tan maravillada. Esta era una rosa que abaja el rocío: este era mi pecho con el hijo mío.

Language: Spanish (Español)
El mar sus millares de olas mece, divino. Oyendo a los mares amantes, mezo a mi niño. El viento errabundo en la noche mece los trigos. Oyendo a los vientos amantes, mezo a mi niño. Dios padre sus miles de mundos mece sin ruido. Sintiendo su mano en la sombra mezo a mi niño.
