by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer (1836 - 1870)

¡Qué hermoso es ver el día
Language: Spanish (Español) 
¡Qué hermoso es ver el día
coronado de fuego levantarse,
y a su beso de lumbre
brillar las olas y encenderse el aire!

¡Qué hermoso es tras la lluvia
del triste otoño en la azulada tarde,
de las húmedas flores
el perfume beber hasta saciarse!

¡Qué hermoso es cuando en copos
la blanca nieve silenciosa cae,
de las inquietas llamas
ver las rojizas lenguas agitarse!

¡Qué hermoso es cuando hay sueño
dormir bien... y roncar como un sochantre...
y comer... y engordar... y qué desgracia
que esto solo no baste!
