Jo et pressentia com la mar I com el vent, immensa, lliure, Alta, damunt de tot atzar I tot destí. I en el meu viure, Com el respir. I ara que et tinc Veig com el somni et limitava. Tu no ets un nom, ni un gest. No vinc A tu com a la imatge blava D'un somni humà. Tu no ets la mar, Que és presonera dins de platges, Tu no ets el vent, pres en l'espai. Tu no tens límits; no hi ha, encar, Mots per a dir-te, ni paisatges Per ser el teu món - ni hi seran mai.
