by Vicente Augusto de Carvalho (1866 - 1924)

Saudade
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Belos amores perdidos,
Muito fiz eu com perder-vos;
Deixar-vos, sim: esquecervos
Fora demais, não o fiz.

Tudo se arranca do seio,
-- Amor, desejo, esperança...
Só não se arranca a lembrança
De quando se foi feliz.

Roseira cheia de rosas,
Roseira cheia de espinhos,
Que eu deixei pelos caminhos,
Aberta em flor, e parti:

Por me não perder, perdi-te:
Mas mal posso assegurar-me,
-- Com te perder e ganhar-me,
Se ganhei, ou se perdi...
