by Federico García Lorca (1898 - 1936)
Cautiva
Language: Spanish (Español)
Por las ramas indecisas iba una doncella que era la vida. Por las ramas indecisas. Con un espejito, reflejaba el día que era un resplandor de su frente limpia. Por las ramas indecisas. Sobre las tinieblas andaba perdida llorando rocío, del tiempo cautiva. Por las ramas indecisas.
