Analysis of A ti (Silva)

Jose Asuncion Silva 1865 (Bogotá) – 1896 (Bogotá)



Tú no sabes, más yo he soñado
entre mis sueños color de armiño,
horas de dicha con tus amores,
besos ardientes, quedos suspiros
cuando la tarde se tiñe de oro
esos espacios que juntos vimos,
cuando mi alma su vuelo emprende
a las regiones de lo infinito.
