No digas que no son bellos
los campos de mi Castilla,
que hasta un árbol solitario
pone belleza y adorna
a los verdes que anima
con sus ramas aún brotando.

mas guardando compostura,
y con honra se dibuja
ante el cielo que lo mira,
pues no tiene otro resguardo.
¡Sólo el cielo y la tierra,
solamente ellos lo miman!
