by Antero Tarquínio de Quental (1842 - 1891)

Na capela
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Na capela, perdida entre a folhagem,
O Christo, lá no fundo, agonisava...
Oh! como intimamente se casava
Com minha dor a dor d'aquela imagem!

Filhos ambos do amor, igual miragem
Nos roçou pela fronte, que escaldava...
Igual traição, que o affecto mascarava,
Nos deu supplicio ás mãos da vilanagem...

E agora, ali, em quanto da floresta
A sombra se infiltrava lenta e mesta,
Vencidos ambos, martyres do Fado,

Fitavamo-nos mudos -- dor igual! --
Nem, dos dois, saberei dizer-vos qual
Mais palido, mais triste e mais cançado...
