A tarde agoniza Ao santo acalanto Da noturna brisa. E eu, que também morro, Morro sem consolo, Se não vens, Elisa! Ai nem te humaniza O pranto que tanto Nas faces desliza Do amante que pede Suplicantemente Teu amor, Elisa! Ri, desdenha, pisa! Meu canto, no entanto, Mais te diviniza, Mulher diferente, Tão indiferente, Desumana Elisa!
