TO GERMANO ROCHA

 
 
 

«I even do pass a crazy life; there are

moments, in that a type of torpor

takes me possession of the spirit and I stay, like as

static, seeing the sweetness of the loved image of

Lucília showing me off semi-veiled in any

angle of my room or even among the

distant foggy clouds of this sky.»

G. Rocha.

 

 

 

 

Moon that shines in the immense plain,

in the ethereal blue, so pale and tranquil!

I love your light. In your presence,

the sun of the thought in me sparkles.

 

 

 

 

When seeing you, goes my soul — and no longer thinks

in the pain that torments me the weak clay! —

in the sky of the enchantment, where there is not offense

and where terrestrial life is annihilated.

 

 

 

 

Like me, the beings that love you, gloomy,

suffer nostalgia... but that, meanwhile, in dreams,

they see your good in the heaven or at your side.

 

 

 

 

Moon! My sincere heart loves you ,

because you make me to see, in dream, the lady,

that I love absent and by whom I am loved.
