  A garden grows for thy delight,
  With roses yellow, red, and white.
  But, O my child, beware, beware!
  Touch not the roses growing there,
  For every rose a thorn doth bear.

• I count my time by times that I meet thee;
  These are my yesterdays, my morrows, noons,
  And nights, these are my old moons and my new moons.
  Slow fly the hours, fast the hours flee,
  If thou art far from or art near to me:
  If thou art far, the bird's tunes are no tunes;
  If thou art near, the wintry days are Junes.

  Crooked gray-beard, straight beginner,--
  Empty paunch, or jolly dinner,
  When Death thee shall call.

  When the grave hides all.

  Florecen dos flores,
  Una con ardiente resplandor

  Con manos pálidas y temblorosas,
  Un espíritu que debe elegir
  Una, y otra rechazar.
