1. Patience over the bitterness of steps
Even if they did us wrong

2. Time gives and if only it
Gave and did not intend to return

3. Who excuses me from an ambition
For which all my life I obey

4. I wasted the roots and if only
It remained and did not waste the branches

5. Where are those who assumed
Loftiness from the life sublime

6. They left the houses when whitened
And long they left the spring

7. And when the bodies armored
They made their resolves armors
