by Enrique González Martínez (1871 - 1952)

Despedida
Language: Spanish (Español) 
No ha de besarme en la angustiada hora
De mi trance mortal y será en vano
Que busque la caricia de su mano
Con el afán con que la busco ahora

Será el morir como distante aurora
Perdida en sueños, sentirse cercano
El leve soplo de un suspiro hermano,
O la filial desolación que llora.
Su beso no...la trágica amargura
De su último mirar en  mi perdura,
Cada vez más tenaz y más adentro...

Aquellos ojos de paloma herida
Sellaron la suprema despedida,
Por si no hay viaje, ni otro encuentro.
