by Auta de Souza (1876 - 1901)

Eis o descanso eterno, o doce abrigo
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Eis o descanso eterno, o doce abrigo
Das almas tristes e despedaçadas;
Eis o repouso, enfim; e o sono amigo
Já vem cerrar-me as pálpebras cansadas.

Amarguras da terra! eu me desligo
Para sempre de vós... Almas amadas
Que soluças por mim, eu vos bendigo,
Ó almas de minh'alma abençoadas.

Quando eu d'aqui me for, anjos da guarda,
Quando vier a morte que não tarda
Roubar-me a vida para nunca mais...

Em pranto escrevam sobre a minha lousa:
"Longe da mágoa, enfim, no céu repousa
Quem sofreu muito e quem amou demais".
