Un cautivo beso
 (Sung text for setting by J. Carrillo Trujillo)
 Matches original text
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Era un cautivo beso enamorado
de una mano de nieve, que tenía
la apariencia de un lirio desmayado
y el palpitar de un ave en la agonía.
        Y sucedió que un día,
        aquella mano suave
        de palidez de cirio,
        de languidez de lirio,
        de palpitar de ave,
se acercó tanto a la prisión del beso,
que ya no pudo más el pobre preso
y se escapó; mas, con voluble giro,
huyó la mano hasta el confín lejano,
y el beso que volaba tras la mano,
rompiendo el aire, se volvió suspiro.
