Usage in poetry
Triste cosa es el sueno
Que llanto nos arranca;
Mas tengo en mi tristeza una alegria...
iSe que aun me quedan lagrimas!
Yo voy por un camino, ella por otro;
Pero al pensar en nuestro mutuo amor,
Yo digo aun: ?Por que calle aquel dia?
Y ella dira: ?por que no llore yo?
Al brillar un relampago nacemos,
Y aun dura su fulgor, cuando morimos:
iTan corto es el vivir!
La gloria y el amor tras que corremos,
Sombras de un sueno son que perseguimos:
iDespertar es morir!
