by Antero Tarquínio de Quental (1842 - 1891)

Quando nós vamos ambos, de mãos dadas
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Quando nós vamos ambos, de mãos dadas,
Colher nos vales lírios e boninas,
E galgamos dum fôlego as colinas
Dos rocios da noite inda orvalhadas;

Ou, vendo o mar das ermas cumeadas
Contemplamos as nuvens vespertinas,
Que parecem fantásticas ruínas
Ao longo, no horizonte, amontoadas:

Quantas vezes, de súbito, emudeces!
Não sei que luz no teu olhar flutua;
Sinto tremer-te a mão e empalideces

O vento e o mar murmuram orações,
E a poesia das coisas se insinua
Lenta e amorosa em nossos corações.
