Boda Negra
Ana Gabriel · Joyas De Dos Siglos
el viejo enterrador de la comarca
era un amante que por suerte impa
su dulce bien le arrebato la parca
Todas las noches iba al cementerio
a visistar la tumba de su hermosa
la gente murmuraba con misterio
es un muerto escapado de la fosa
En una horrenda noche hizo pedazos
el mrmol de la tumba abandonada
cav la tierra y se llev en sus brazos
el rigido esqueleto de su amada
Y all en la triste habitacn sombra
de un cirio fnebre a la llama incierta
sent a su lado la osamenta fra
y celebr sus bodas con la muerta
At con cintas los desnudos huesos
el yerto crneo coron de flores
la horrible boca la cubri de besos
y le cont sonriendo sus amores
