Tu pupila es azul

Tu pupila es azul y cuando ries,
Su claridad suave me recuerda
El trémulo fulgor de la mañana
Que en el mar se refleja. 

Te pupila es azul, y cuando lloras,
Las transparentes lágrimas en ella
Se me figuran gotas de rocío
Sobre una violeta.

Tu pupila es azul, y si en su fondo 
Como un punto de luz radia una idea,
Me parece en el cielo de la tarde
¡Una perdida estrella! ¡Ah!

by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer (1836-1870)
