Page 37 - Hoja seca que cuela indecisa Y arrebata violento turbión, Así vive en la tierra el viajero, Sin norte, sin alma, sin patria ni amor. Busca ansioso doquiera la dicha Y la dicha se aleja fugaz: ¡Vana sombra que burla su anhelo!... ¡Por ella el viajero se lanza a la mar! Impelido por mano invisible Vagara confín en confín; Los recuerdos le harán compañía De seres queridos, de un día feliz.
