IX[1]
Besa el aura que gime blandamente
Las leves ondas que jugando riza;
El sol besa á la nube en occidente
Y de púrpura y oro la matiza;
La llama en derredor del tronco ardiente
Por besar á otra llama se desliza,
Y hasta el sáuce, inclinándose á su peso,
Al río, que le besa, vuelve un beso.
[Footnote 1: This poem, of the form called Octava real, with the regular rhyme scheme a b a b a b c c, is composed of hendecasyllabic verses of the first class, save the 2d, which is of the second class.]
