Analysis of Sub-Umbra
Jose Asuncion Silva 1865 (Bogotá) – 1896 (Bogotá)
Tú no lo sabes... mas yo he soñado
entre mis sueños color de armiño,
horas de dicha con tus amores
besos ardientes, quedos suspiros
cuando la tarde tiñe de öro
esos espacios que juntos vimos,
Cuando mi alma su vuelo emprende
a las regiones de lo infinito
aunque me olvides, aunque no me ames
aunque me odies, sueño contigo!
