Analysis of La Arenga de Cristino
Anda descalzo por las brasas,
con su paso lento, encorvado,
debajo de un cielo despejado,
entre el cerrazón de las casas.
Se desangran las tierras peladas,
en su cerviz el yugo clavado,
y con destino a un collado,
ante las estrellas nacaradas.
Gelatinoso baja el sudor
de su negro, azotado lomo.
¡Hecho incansable peleador,
bebe vinagre del mayordomo!
¡De súbito truena, alentador,
con su arenga desde el somo!
