If I a pleasant keepsake
On leaving this world may bear,
Father profound, I would take
A lock of your silver hair.
If allowed for mercy’s sake
One more favor to implore:
The painter’s portrait I’d take
Of the sister I adore.
Could I to a treasure cling
From this life in that foretold,
The hidden tresses I’d bring
I keep in a chest of gold!
SI QUIERES QUE DE ESTE MUNDO… (Verso VI)
Si quieren que de este mundo
Lleve una memoria grata,
Llevar
(Jose Marti)
