VOLO AL CIELO.
ALA MEMORIA
DE g. Va. LA RE3&A,

Luco respllnleciente en- lontauanza
Tn iris belio que a 10 natrll mia,
DE un porvenr de gloria Y bienandanZa
La divina aurora e olreca.
I'll iris sc ncerc6: sus olas de orc
Inu ldaron Il tirbido horizonte;
Bendi iento tan magico tesoro,
Cuanto respira desie el lano al monte.
Lati6 anheante ell pecho del Monarca
Al vslumbrar su celestial sonfisa;
Y ole en- ell radio que la ESpaha abarca,
Ecos de parabien que trae la biisa.
En- angel transtorm6se el iris belle;
Canta Iberia loores EN- su abono;
Y anegado eli Ia luz de su destello
Con 81 Alfonso eomparti0 su trono.
De dulZura un torrente Sc desata
En- el alcaZar regio de CaStilIa,i
Eden de dicha que el amor retrata
Y desde el Beus al Pirene brilla.
Hoy, . nnbe opaca el horizonte vels,
F1nehre el eco del canon retumba;
FL aura triste sin concerto yuela.
iTanta ventura sc abism0 en- Ia tumba!
,Esperaszas de paz, horas tranquilas
Tnsiones de amor Y de ternura i...
iYa yagando os contemplate mis- pupilas
Por un pielago immense de amargura!
Fngaz su paso por el mnndo ha sido
Cdaliior qlc abrasa el huracan nefdndo;
Apenas su perfume Sc ha esparcido
Por ell trono que fue de ; IN Fernando.
iAhl llora Alfonso, llora; desde el celo
Tu llanto We la angelical Mercedes;
Y loveran ehuvios de consuelo
AL yer que ell lloro cOntener no puedes.
No impide ell esplendor de una corona
Que sienta el corazon, que lore el hombre
Hoy que brota el dolor de zona 4 zona
Al pronuncar tn esclarecido nomhre;
Porque ese angel de virtud modelo,
Bello como radiante mete6ro,
Fl lazo rompe que 10 uniera al suelO,
Para volar hasta ell celeste coro;
Cuando suefos de amor de ventura
Su virginal sonrsa te inspiraba;
Cuando llenara de fragancia pura
Ell aire que tn aliento respiraba.
Lora bendice en- tu pesar vehemente
Del almo Dios la volnntad suprema;
y podra sop0rtar III augusta frente,
Ell peso sehorial de tn diadema.
Del pueblo hispano, que en- su Rev Sc mira,
Mas su entus:asmo con tn pena crece,
En- tn aureoa de dolor Sc iuspira,
Y los tesoros de su amor te ofrece.
Oscura niebla su sosiego altera,
Al yer cubierto tn pensil de abrojos;
Y al mirar ell crespon en- su bandera,
Lanto del corazon verten sus ojos
Crep1sculos divinos de Ia tarle,
Astros que tachenais el firmainento;
Con esa antorcha que en- vosotros arde,
Las sombras disipad del suftmiento
Ecos qle preludiais por la lanura
Vagos ncordes que ell amor conoce;
I'm 6sculo llevade de dulzura
Del angel del consuelo Alfonso doce.
