Agua, ¿dónde vas?
 
Riyendo voy por el río
a las orillas del mar.

Mar, ¿adónde vas?

Río arriba voy buscando
fuente para descansar.

Chopo, y tú, ¿qué harás?

No quiero decirte nada. 
Yo... ¡temblar!

¿Qué deseo, qué no deseo, 
por el río y por el mar?

(Cuatro pájaros sin rumbo
en el alto chopo están.)
