El grito

La elipse de un grito,
va de monte
a monte. 
Desde los olivos,
será un arco iris negro
sobre la noche azul. 
¡Ay! 
Como un arco de viola,
el grito ha hecho vibrar
largas cuerdas del viento. 
¡Ay! 
(Las gentes de las cuevas
asoman sus velones) 
¡Ay!

by Federico García Lorca (1898-1936) , "El grito"
