by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer (1836 - 1870)
Como guarda el avaro su tesoro
Language: Spanish (Español)
Como guarda el avaro su tesoro, guardaba mi dolor; le quería probar que hay algo eterno a la que eterno me juró su amor. Mas hoy le llamo en vano y oigo al tiempo, que le agotó, decir: —¡Ah, barro miserable! ¡Eternamente no podrás ni aun sufrir!
