by Enrique González Martínez (1871 - 1952)

Nocturno de las rosas
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Tres rosas en el ánfora,
De diverso matiz, de igual belleza:
¡Oh, dolor, Oh, recuerdo, Oh, esperanza!

El perfume de antaño me envenena,
Luego el dolor ¿no mata?
Solloza el árbol en las hojas secas.

Vida desesperada, ¿por qué si nada esperas,
Atisbas por la noche en la ventana?
¿Quién es el que golpea?
Manejando está el martillo de la aldaba
En la noche siniestra.

Voces de ayer, la pena que se agranda,
Insomnio vigilante de la espera.

Tres rosas en el ánfora,
De diverso matiz, de igual belleza.
