by Florbela Espanca (1894 - 1930)

Amor que morre
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Choose for Diff
O nosso amor morreu... Quem o diria!
Quem o pensára mesmo ao ver-me tonta,
Ceguinha de te ver, sem ver a conta
Do tempo que passava, que fugia!

Bem estava a sentir que êle morria...
E outro clarão, ao longe, já desponta !
Um engano que morre... e logo aponta
A luz doutra miragem fugidia...

Eu bem sei, meu Amor, que p'ra viver
São precisos amores, p'ra morrer
E são precisos sonhos p'ra partir.

Eu bem sei, meu Amor, que era preciso
Fazer do amor que parte o claro riso
Doutro amor impossivel que há de vir!

Confirmed with Florbela Espanca, Reliqueæ, Edição de referência: 2 ed, Coimbra : Livraria A. Gonçalves, 1931, p.86
