by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer (1836 - 1870)
La gota de rocío que en el cáliz
Language: Spanish (Español)
La gota de rocío que en el cáliz
duerme de la blanquísima azucena,
es el palacio de cristal en donde
vive el genio feliz de la pureza.
Él [le] da su misterio y poesía,
él su aroma balsámico le presta;
¡ ay ! de la flor, si de la luz al beso,
se evapora esa perla.
