Amor

El amor, ¿a qué huele? Parece, cuando se ama,que el mundo entero tiene rumor de primavera.Las hojas secas tornan y las ramas con nieve,y él sigue ardiente y joven, oliendo a la rosa eterna.

Por todas partes abre guirnaldas invisibles,todos sus fondos son líricos -risa o pena-,la mujer a su beso cobra un sentido mágicoque, como en los senderos, sin cesar se renueva...

Vienen al alma música de ideales conciertos,palabras de una brisa liviana entre arboledas;se suspira y se llora, y el suspiro y el llantodejan como un romántico frescor de madreselvas...
