Analysis of La voz de las cosas
Jose Asuncion Silva 1865 (Bogotá) – 1896 (Bogotá)
¡Si os encerrara yo en mis estrofas,
frágiles cosas que sonreís,
pálido lirio que te deshojas,
rayo de luna sobre el tapiz
de húmedas flores, y verdes hojas
que al tibio soplo de Mayo abrís,
si os encerrara yo en mis estrofas
pálidas cosas que sonreís!
¡Si aprisionaros pudiera el verso,
fantasmas grises, cuando pasáis,
móviles formas del Universo,
sueños confusos, seres que os vais,
ósculo triste, suave y perverso
que entre las sombras al alma dais;
si aprisionaros pudiera el verso
fantasmas grises cuando pasáis!
