by Olavo Brás Martins dos Guimarães Bilac (1865 - 1918)

Plangei, sinos! A terra ao nosso amor...
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Plangei, sinos! A terra ao nosso amor não basta...
Cansados de ânsias vis e de ambições ferozes,
Ardemos numa louca aspiração mais casta,
Para transmigrações, para metempsicoses!

Cantai, sinos! Daqui por onde o horror se arrasta,
Campas de rebeliões, bronzes de apoteoses,
Badalai, bimbalhai, tocai à esfera vasta!
Levai os nossos ais rolando em vossas vozes!

Em repiques de febre, em dobres a finados,
Em rebates de angústia, ó carrilhões, dos cimos
Tangei! Torres da fé, vibrai os nossos brados!

Dizei, sinos da terra, em clamores supremos,
Toda a nossa tortura aos astros de onde vimos,
Toda a nossa esperança aos astros aonde iremos!
