Sin niño
Language: Galician
Por montes e campías, camiños e espranadas, Vén unha pomba soia, soia de rama en rama. Síguena as probes crías, sedentas e cansadas, sin que alimento atope pra darlles a bicada. Trai manchadas as prumas, que eran un tempo brancas, trai muchas e rastreiras i abatidas as alas. ¡Ai!, probe pomba, un tempo tan querida e tan branca. ¿Onde vai o teu brilo?... ¿O teu amor, onde anda?
