by Antero Tarquínio de Quental (1842 - 1891)

Acordando
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Em sonho, às vezes, se o sonhar quebranta
Este meu vão sofrer, esta agonia,
Como sobe cantando a cotovia,
Para o céu a minh'alma sobe e canta.

Canta a luz, a alvorada, a estrela santa,
Que ao mundo traz piedosa mais um dia...
Canta o enlevo das coisas, a alegria
Que as penetra de amor e as alevanta...

Mas, de repente, um vento húmido e frio
Sopra sobre o meu sonho: um calafrio
Me acorda - A noite é negra e muda: a dor

Cá vela, como dantes, a meu lado...
Os meus cantos de luz, anjo adorado,
São sonho só, e sonho o meu amor!
