by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer (1836 - 1870)

Como se arranca el hierro de una herida
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Como se arranca el hierro de una herida
su amor de las entrañas me arranqué,
aunque sentí al hacerlo que la vida
me arrancaba con él.

Del altar que le alcé en el alma mía
la voluntad su imagen arrojó,
y la luz de la fe que en ella ardía
ante el ara desierta se apagó.

Aún turbando en la noche el firme empeño
viene en la idea su visión tenaz...
¡Cuándo podré dormir con ese sueño
En que acaba el soñar!
