    • 1974, Antonio Domínguez Hidalgo, Y otras melancolías:
      Frente a ti…
      libre de todos
      sentado en el nocturno transcurrido de mi tiempo
      me dispongo a regresar a plena luz del día
      bajo un cielo desprovisto de tinieblas
      y uncido en su promesa
      de mañana eterna.
      In front of thee…
      free of all
      sitting in the nocturnal past of my time
      I'm about to return in broad daylight
      under a sky devoid of darkness
      and yoked in his promise
      of eternal morning.
