by Hermes Fontes (1888 - 1930)

Uma lua religiosa
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Uma lua religiosa,
Uma lua romanesca,
Aponta como uma rosa
Muito branca, muito fresca
No ar sem fim

Ah! Quem me dera essa rosa,
Para eu dá-la ao teu jardim?!

Um luar sereno e belo
Fluido mármore da altura
Parece esculpir o estelo
Para minha sepultura
Consagrar

Ah! Quem me dera esse estelo
para enfeite do teu Lar?!

Do alto, a lua paraninfa
Terra e Céu, noivando.
E verte pranto argênteo,
Clara linfa sobre a natureza inerte, sem vigor:

Ah! Quem me dera essa linfa
Para o teu banho de flor...

Dolorosa, fria lua,
Pia ebúrnea da alta Ermida.
Fonte grega! Estátua nua!
Rosa branca refletida
Nas marés:

Ah! Quem me dera ser lua
Para esfolhar-me aos seus pés!...
