IX ‑ Besa el aura que gime blandamente

Besa el aura que gime blandamente
las leves ondas que jugando riza;
el sol besa a la nube en occidente 
y de púrpura y oro la matiza;
la llama en derredor del tronco ardiente 
por besar a otra llama se desliza; 
y hasta el sauce, inclinándose a su peso, 
al río que le besa vuelve un beso.

by Gustavo Adolfo Domínguez Bastida (1836-1870) , under the pseudonym Gustavo Adolfo Béquer, no title, from Rimas y leyendas, no. 9
