Que de la llanura viene

lo dice el tranco miedoso:

a un pie le pide permiso

para levantar el otro

y entero lo descompone,

el camino pedregoso.

Que el litre da mala sombra

le dijeron cuando mozo

y a ningún árbol se arrima

si no sombrea con otro,

halla maligna intención

hasta en el sauce piadoso.

Los montañeses le gritan

en el último recodo:

caminos de la montaña

son de Dios y de nosotros.

Voz del viento que atropella

oye cerrando los ojos

y hace una cruz de suspiros

por su llanura en reposo

cuando pasa el remolino

de papel y piedra y polvo.

Digo que cantan de noche

los altos pinos sonoros.

Nada supo el forastero

del corto tranco miedoso

y se va con el permiso

de un pie para alzar el otro.
