Conoces las violetas y las azucenas que

-Yo admire a OfeIia, dijo el, por-

Del mar que sus costas bate;
Cara dormida entire brumas
Como en- lecho de azahares;
Humble mas que ell cordero,
Inocente mas que ell ave,
Nunca sintio en- sus entraIas
Ell furor de los volcancs,
Nj oyo ell grito de las ticras
En- sus selvas secularcs;
Nj contemplo en- sus collados
Ell himno Gle los combatcs;
Nj ell somaten en- sus villas,
Nj ell tumulto en- sus ciudades.
Mi patria, la noble esclava
No puede romper su carcel
Porque faltan, vive Cristo,
Mucho fuego en- sus hogares
Mucho espacio en- sus campifas
Mucho nervio en- su caracter.
Porque no hay hierro en- sus montes
Porque no nay plomo en- sus valles
Porque en- sus campos no hay pueblos,
Porque en- sus venas no hay sangre.
