by Luís Guimarães Filho (1878 - 1940)

Turqueza
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Hoje passou junto a mim ...
Vestida de azul celeste,
Pálida como o marfim...

E sobre minh'alma agreste
Dos seus olhos vi baixar
Uma sombra de cipreste!

Era o seu manto um luar!
Era uma fluida neblina
Suave de contemplar...

O azul, o azul a fascina!
Talvez, talvez lhe apague tristezas
A cor celeste e divina!

Deve ter n'alma turquezas
Esta mulher que se veste,
- Como as celestes princezas

De tunica azul celeste!
