MORREU O POETA !

                                  Morreu
                                  O poeta,
                                  Mas resiste
                                  O poema,
                                   A rima imortal,
                                   A ideia,
                                   O lema
                                   E a verdade
                                   Da poesia!
                                   Morreu
                                   O poeta,
                                   Cumpriu a sina,
                                   Fica o soneto
                                   Do amor
                                   Sem maldade!
                                   Restam
                                   Os livros,
                                   O papel,
                                   A caneta
                                   E a janela
                                   Aberta,
                                   Por onde sai dor
                                   E entra maresia!
