by Federico García Lorca (1898 - 1936)

Llagas de amor
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Esta luz, este fuego que devora.
Este paisaje gris que me rodea.
Este dolor por una sola idea.
Esta angustia de cielo, mundo y hora.
Este llanto de sangre que decora
lira sin pulso ya, lúbrica tea.
Este peso del mar que me golpea.
Este alacrán que por mi pecho mora.
Son guirnalda de’amor, cama de’herido
donde sin sueño, sueño tu presencia
entre las ruinas de mi pecho’hundido,
Y aunque busco la cumbre de prudencia
me da tu corazón valle tendido
con cicuta y pasión de’amarga ciencia.
