Vicente Huidobro (1893-1948) was a Chilean poet and founder of Creationism, an avant-garde poetry movement. He was also one of the driving forces behind vanguard poetry in Hispano-America.

Days and nights I've searched for you

Without finding the place where you sing

I've looked for you across the time above and down the river below

You're lost in the tears

Nights and nights I've searched for you

Without finding the place where you cry

Because I know you're crying

It's enough for me to look in a mirror

To know that you're crying and you've cried to me

Only you save the weeping

And from a dark beggar

You make him king crowned by your hand
