O Far-off rose of long ago,
  An hour of sweet, an hour of red,
To live, to breathe, and then to go
  Into the dark ere June was dead!

Why say they: Roses shall return
  With every year as years go on?
New springtime and strange bloom, my rose,...

I put thy hand aside, and turn away:
Why should I blame the slight and fickle heart
That cannot bravely go, nor boldly stay,
Too weak to cling, and yet too fond to part?
Dead Passion chains thee where her ashes lie.
Cold is the shrine, ah, cold for...

My fairest child, I have no song to give you;
  No lark could pipe to skies so dull and gray;
Yet, ere we part, one lesson I can leave you
            For every day.

Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever;
  Do noble things, not dream them, all...

Farewell, my more than fatherland!
  Home of my heart and friends, adieu!
Lingering beside some foreign strand,
  How oft shall I remember you!
  How often, o’er the waters blue,
Send back a sigh to those I leave,
  The loving and beloved few,...

  MAY the Babylonish curse
Straight confound my stammering verse,
If I can a passage see
In this word-perplexity,
Or a fit expression find,
Or a language to my mind
(Still the phrase is wide or scant),
To take leave of thee, GREAT PLANT!...

¡Oh tú, temprano sol que en el oriente
de tus primeros años has nacido
coronado de luz resplandeciente,

salve! Y en tanto que a tu grato oído
de mi voz, por cantarte, los acentos
labios son de metal contra el olvido,

con presagios de ilustres...

El día de su casamiento con: D Salustiano de Olózaga

Aunque a la aurora temores,
y al mismo sol dés enojos,
te sientan con mil primores
la languidez en los ojos,
y en el cabello las flores.

Muestran tantas maravillas

¿Qué misteriosa magia, dulcísimo poeta,
se encierra en tu inflamado y hermoso corazón,
que el mío deleitando le atrae, le sujeta,
y al par le comunica su fuego abrasador?

¿Por qué del alma tuya la mía...
