by Casimiro José Marques de Abreu (1839 - 1860)

Assim!
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
  A. M. * * *

Viste o lírio da campina?
Lá s'inclina
E murcho no hastil pendeu!
- Viste o lírio da campina?
Pois, divina,
Como o lírio assim sou eu!


Nunca ouviste a voz da flauta,
A dor da nauta
Suspirando no alto mar?
- Nunca ouviste a voz da flauta?
Como o nauta
É tão triste o meu cantar!


Não viste a rola sem ninho
No caminho
Gemendo, se a noite vem?
- Não viste a rola sem ninho?
Pois, anjinho,
Assim eu gemo, também!


Não viste a barca perdida,
Sacudida
Nas asas dalgum tufão?
- Não viste a barca fendida?
Pois querida
Assim vai meu coração!
