A CUANTOS AMAN LA AZUL LEJANÍA

A cuantos aman la azul lejanía:

los que desde el alba a la noche, buscando

fugitivos rincones camináis

sin desalentaros en la vana búsqueda;

los que río cantarín abajo,

zagual en mano, joviales remáis

salpicando al sargo saltarín

o fondeáis en la raíz del sauce;

los que, más osados, de la fangosa ribera

zarpáis, llevando aquel arca de cedro

entre aves marinas y el rugido

del mar inmenso, tan profundo y tan claro;

o los que, en fin, marcháis adonde vuestro corazón

os lleva

sin importaros otra cosa, y oís,

sentados junto al fuego del hogar,

ruido de pasos en Utah o Pamere:

aunque largo el camino y duros sean

el sol y la lluvia, el rocío y el polvo,

aunque en la desesperación y el ansia del camino

enterrados queden los mayores, y extravíense los hijos

al final, oh amigos, estad seguros

de que suceda lo que suceda, allá en el horizonte,

en el confín de los confines,

veréis aparecer la ciudad dorada.
