by António Machado (1875 - 1939)

Los sueños
Language: Spanish (Español) 
El hada más hermosa ha sonreído
al ver la lumbre de una estrella pálida,
que en hilo suave, blanco y silencioso
se enrosca al huso de su rubia hermana.

Y vuelve a sonreír porque en su rueca
el hilo de los campos se enmaraña.
Tras la tenue cortina de la alcoba
está el jardín envuelto en luz dorada.

La cuna, casi en sombra. El niño duerme.
Dos hadas laboriosas lo acompañan,
hilando de los sueños los sutiles
copos en ruecas de marfil y plata.
