by Ramòn Maria de las Mercedes de Campoamor y Campoosorio (1817 - 1901)
Los dos miedos
Language: Spanish (Español)
Al comenzar la noche de aquel día,
ella, lejos de mí,
-- ¿Por qué te acercas tanto? -- Me decía;
-- ¡Tengo miedo de tí! --
Y después que la noche hubo pasado
dijo, cerca de mí:
-- ¿Por qué te alejas tanto de mi lado?
¡Tengo miedo sin tí! --
