by Antônio Frederico de Castro Alves (1847 - 1871)

O baile na flor
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Que belas as margens do rio possante,
Que ao largo espumante campeia sem par!...
Ali das bromélias nas flores doiradas
Há silfos e fadas, que fazem seu lar...

E, em lindos cardumes,
Sutis vaga-lumes
Acendem os lumes
P'ra o baile na flor.
E então -- nas arcadas
Das pet'las doiradas,
Os grilos em festa
Começam na orquesta
Febris a tocar...

E as breves
Falenas
Vão leves,
Serenas,
Em bando
Girando,
Valsando,
Voando
No ar!...
