Bienvenida al poeta a su regreso a la patria en 1890

Grabado del Poeta

A Cándida

Tus Ojos

Entre mi vida de enojos
Y tus clarisimos ojos,
Hay una gran relación,
Pues son, en su semejanza,
Grandes como mi esperanza,
Negros como my aflicción.

Publicado en Estrofas 1 de marzo de 1877

Poema inedito del Poeta escrito de su puño y letra en el álbum de Carolina Tesdorpf de Vidal

Within my life of sorrow, lies
Resemblance to thy radiant eyes.
Finding a close relation, there
Thus, I compare them in my song.
As great as hope within we strong
As deep and dark as my despair.

As my life of sorrows bitter
Are shine eyes of burning glitter
As when I the two compare
Find those radiant orbs divine.
Great as this vain hope of mine
Dark and deep as my despair

To my life of sorrows bitter
Thy brown eyes of radiant glitter
When I see them I compare,
As in their incessant burning
They're as great as my soul's yearning
And as dark as my despair!

They are great as my soul's yearning
Deep and dark as my despair.
