by Josep Carner i Puigoriol (1884 - 1970)

El sonet dels llavis
Language: Catalan (Català) 
Seguidament els llavis cantaria
amb què em persuadeixes i m’arbores.
Tos llavis són metzines temptadores,
ires de voluptat i de follia;

Saben paraules embriagadores,
i el dolç segell que l’esperit desnia;
besen de nit amb flaires dormidores
i criden clars en aixecar-se el dia.

O llavis, de la cara en la blancor
són escarlates de cruel bellesa.
O llavis, llavis, quina sang malmesa

De ferit us ha dada l’encesor?
Quin cor xuclàreu, que teniu tebior
d’alguna visa que va poc heu presa?
