Analysis of Madrigal
Jose Asuncion Silva 1865 (Bogotá) – 1896 (Bogotá)
Tu tez rosada y pura, tus formas gráciles
de estatua de Tanagra, tu olor de lilas,
el carmín de tu boca, de labios tersos;
las miradas ardientes de tus pupilas,
el ritmo de tu paso, tu voz velada,
tus cabellos que suelen, si los despeina
tu mano blanca y fina toda hoyuelada,
cubrirte como un rico manto de reina;
tu voz, tus ademanes, tú... no te asombre:
todo eso está, y a gritos, pidiendo un hombre.
