by Luís Nicolau Fagundes Varela (1841 - 1875)

As letras
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Na tênue casca de verde arbusto
Gravei teu nome, depois parti.
Foram-se os anos, foram-se os meses,
Foram-se os dias, acho-me aqui.

Mas ai! O arbusto se fez tão alto,
Teu nome erguendo que não mais vi!
E nessas letras que aos céus subiam
Meus belos sonhos de amor perdi!
