by José Rafael de Pombo y Rebolledo (1833 - 1912)

Pesadilla
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Desperté inquieto: a mi redor sumido
Todo en silencio y lobreguez yacía,
Y quise con liviana fantasía
El blando sueño conciliar perdido.

  Llamé como león, con un rugido
  Que del volcán del corazón partía,
  La casta forma de la virgen mía...
  Y oyó el sueño mi voz: fui obedecido.

    ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Busco en redor con delirante acceso...
Encuentro su cabeza idolatrada...
Tomola en amantísimo embeleso...

  Toco febril su boca embalsamada...
  La beso... ¡queda abierta con mi beso!
  ¡Estaba del cadáver arrancada!
