Here's a lovely poem about The Wind by Robert Louis Stevenson with a couple of mp3 renditions.MP3...

This can be found in print back in 1883...

Una hora duerme el gallo
One Hour, The Rooster Sleeps
Canción infantil
(Spanish)
Children's Chant
(English)

Una hora duerme el gallo,
dos el caballo,
tres el santo,
cuatro el que no lo es tanto,
cinco el peregrino,
seis el teatino,
siete el caminante,
ocho el estudiante,
nueve el caballero,
diez el majadero,
once el muchacho,
y doce el borracho.

One hour, the rooster sleeps,
Two, the horse,
Three, the saint,
Four, the one who's not such a saint,
Five, the pilgrim,
Six, the monk,
Seven, the walker,
Eight, the student,
Nine, the gentleman,
Ten, the idiot,
Eleven, the boy,
and Twelve, the drunk.
