by Plínio Augusto Xavier de Lima (1845 - 1873)

Ainda e sempre
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Quis debalde varrer-te da memória
E o teu nome arrancar do coração!
Amo-te sempre! Que martírio infindo!
Tem a força da morte esta paixão!...

Eu sentia-me atado aos teus prestígios
Por grilhões poderosos e fatais;
Nem me vias sequer, -- te amava ainda!...
Motejavas de mim, -- te amava mais!...

Tu me vias sorrir. Os prantos d'alma
Só confiam-se a Deus e à solidão!...
Tu me vias passar calmo e tranqüilo,
Tinha a morte a gelar-me o coração!...

Quantas vezes lutei co'o sentimento!
Quantas vezes corei da minha dor!...
Quis até odiar-te... amava sempre
Sempre e sempre a esmagar-me o meu amor!
