¿Aún abrirás los bosques?
¿Aún talarás las olas?
¿Alzarás las columnas
de la noche a la gloria?
¿Gotearás de estrellas
las rojas amapolas?
¿Harás brillar los peces
sobre la orilla sola?
¿Prenderás tus marfiles
en las cimas remotas?
¿Poblarás con tu lumbre
crepuscular la aurora?
¿Serás el mismo que eras,
Tomás Luis de Victoria?
¿Llevarás en la mano
la dorada limosna,
misteriosa moneda,
luna verde y redonda,
ojo donde los hombres
apacientan sus horas?
