Oh vôo das florestas que se esfólham, Tontas de ceus, fragancia! Oh tardas sombras rôxas da Distancia! Ruinas noite donde as aguias ólham!

Oh paizagem do Ceu! Cintra! Visão suprema! Architectura dos accordes dum poëma! Em ti as mãos do Vento em furia batalharam! O Genio e a Lenda para alem te perpetuaram!

Oh Graça que desceste á Terra por encanto, Granitos que, ao luar, sois brancos alabastros, Ramos verdes, á noite, onde estremecem astros, Meu canto vem de vós, é para vós meu canto!

Fraguedos, serrania, Do alto de vós olhando, Tolhidos de invernia, Alados de neblinas! Nos longes acenaes, noctivagos, em bando, Franjas, espuma vaga de cortinas, Aereas e nevadas, Farrapos onde a Noite esconde as madrugadas... Continue reading book >>
