by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer (1836 - 1870)

Lejos y entre los árboles
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Lejos y entre los árboles
de la intrincada selva,
¿no ves algo que brilla
y llora? Es una estrella.

Ya se la ve más próxima,
como a través de un tul
de una ermita en el pórtico
brillar. Es una luz.

De la carrera rápida
el término está aquí.
Desilusión. No es lámpara ni estrella
la luz que hemos seguido: es un candil.
