Um verso me pediste, bem bonito por sinal, feito com arte e com chiste, com rimas de ouro e de cristal. Um verso mais delicado que as pétalas de uma flor, mais doce que o mel dourado, mais suave que um beija-flor. Que lembrasse a madrugada rompendo da noite o véu, que fosse nuvem dourada, a iluminar todo o céu. Mas o verso mais bonito e a mais bonita canção, é o teu lindo nome escrito dentro do meu coração.
