by José Asunción Silva (1865 - 1896)

Estrellas fijas
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Cuando ya de la vida
el alma tenga, con el cuerpo, rota,
y duerma en el sepulcro
esa noche, más larga que las otras,

mis ojos, que en recuerdo
del infinito eterno de las cosas,
guardaron sólo, como de un ensueño,
la tibia luz de tus miradas hondas,

al ir descomponiéndose
entre la oscura fosa,
verán, en lo ignorado de la muerte,
tus ojos ... destacándose en las sombras.
