The poems explore themes of love, sorrow, and nostalgia, particularly reflecting on the author's deep connection to her homeland of Galicia. Through her verses, Castro embodies the feelings of separation, longing, and melancholy that define the experiences of her people, making her work a poignant expression of Galician identity. The opening of "Follas Novas" presents a dedication to the Society of Beneficence of Galicians in Havana, celebrating a significant cultural connection between the expatriate community and their homeland. It is introduced by a prologue that emphasizes the importance of history and memory in shaping national identity, while expressing a deep admiration for Galicia's landscapes and folklore. The early verses then convey a profound sense of introspection, questioning existence and exploring the soul's relationship with nature, reflecting the author's melancholic sentiment toward life, identity, and the inexorable passage of time.
