…Y yo me iré. Y se quedarán los pájaros cantando; y se quedará mi huerto, con su verde árbol, y con su pozo blanco. Todas la tardes, el cielo será azul y plácido; y tocarán, como esta tarde están tocando, las campanas del campanario. Se morirán aquellos que me amaron; y el pueblo se hará nuevo cada año; y en el rincón aquel de mi huerto florido y encalado. mi espíritu errará, nostálgico… Y yo me iré; y estaré solo, sin hogar, sin árbol verde, sin pozo blanco, sin cielo azul y plácido… Y se quedarán los pájaros cantando.
