by Casimiro José Marques de Abreu (1839 - 1860)

Violeta
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Sempre teu lábio severo
Me chama de borboleta!
- Se eu deixo as rosas do prado
É só por ti - violeta!

Tu és formosa e modesta,
As outras são tão vaidosas!
Embora vivas na sombra
Amo-te mais do que às rosas.

A borboleta travessa
Vive de sol e de flores.
- Eu quero o sol de teus olhos,
O néctar dos teus amores!

Cativo de teu perfume
Não mais serei borboleta;
- Deixa eu dormir no teu seio,
Dá-me o teu mel - violeta!
