SINO DE BRONZE !

                                         Ouço badaladas
                                         No sino de bronze,
                                         Da velha capela
                                         No alto do monte!
                                         São pancadas,
                                         No escuro da noite
                                         E no silencio da vida
                                         Que dorme no vale!
                                         Calam-se os grilos,
                                         Rãs relas e cigarras
                                         E avivam-se as cores
                                         Das aguarelas
                                         Pintadas por Deus!
                                         É hora dos sonhos,
                                         Do mar de ilusões,
                                         Dos eternos amores,
                                         Das juras,
                                         Das mil promessas,
                                         Dos lânguidos beijos,
                                         Das ternuras
                                         E tambem dos pecados,
                                         Mas esses são meus!
