Caminando con lánguida pereza Asoma por el recodo del camino, Ya terminó el trabajo campesino, Es la hora en que el ángelus se reza. En sus pupilas brilla la tristeza Que abunda en el paisaje vespertino, Medita en su monótono destino Y resignada inclina la cabeza Entonando un cantar que es una queja. Por detrás de los árboles se aleja Apoyada en su rama de bejuco. Se pierde su figura dolorosa Pero queda la raza que solloza En las dolientes notas del bambuco.
