Poesías completas de Plácido (Gabriel de la Concepción Valdés).
Negra deidad que sin clemencia alguna
De espinas al nacer me circuiste,
Cual fuente clara cuya márgen viste
Maguey silvestre y punzadora tuna;
Entre el materno tálamo y la cuna
El férreo muro del honor pusiste;
Y acaso hasta las nubes me subiste,
Por verme descender desde la luna.
