Nuestras horas son minutos
cuando esperamos saber,
y siglos cuando sabemos
lo que se puede aprender.
La envidia de la virtud
hizo a Caín criminal.
¡Gloria a Caín! Hoy el vicio
es lo que se envidia más
No extrañéis, dulces amigos,
que esté mi frente arrugada:
yo vivo en paz con los hombres
y en guerra con mis entrañas.
Ayer soñé que veía
a Dios y que a Dios hablaba;
y soñé que Dios me oía...
Después soñé que soñaba.
Bueno es saber que los vasos
nos sirven para beber;
lo malo es que no sabemos
para qué sirve la sed.
Todo pasa y todo queda,
pero lo nuestro es pasar,
pasar haciendo caminos,
caminos sobre la mar.
Ya hay un español que quiere
vivir y a vivir empieza,
entre una España que muere
y otra España que bosteza.
Españolito que vienes
al mundo, te guarde Dios.
Una de las dos Españas
ha de helarte el corazón.
