Noble rincón de mis abuelos: nada

como evocar, cruzando callejuelas,

los tiempos de la cruz y de la espada,

del ahumado candil y las pajuelas...

Pues ya pasó, ciudad amurallada,

tu edad de folletín... Las carabelas

se fueron para siempre de tu rada...

Ya no viene el aceite en botijuelas!

Fuiste heroica en los años coloniales,

cuando tus hijos, águilas caudales,

no eran una caterva de vencejos.

Mas hoy, plena de rancio desaliño,

bien puedes inspirar ese cariño

que uno le tiene a sus zapatos viejos...
