Fragância morena
Portal de marfim
Ondina açucena
Chamando por mim
Cantiga do monte
Clareira do ar
Dançando na nuvem
Mudando em mar
Na flor da montanha
Na espuma a cair
Nos frutos de Agosto
Na boca a sorrir
Na crista da vaga
Tormento alonguei
No vento e na fraga
Só luto encontrei
Abriram-se as velas
Mal rompe a manhã
Na luz e nas trevas
Foi-se a louçã
Ai húmida prata
Meu sonho sem ver
Ai noite de Lua
Meu lume de arder
Ó finas areias
Ó clara manhã
Ó rubras papoilas
Da cor da romã
Ó rosto da terra
E abismos do mar
Ouvide o seu canto
De longe a arfar
Abriram-se as velas
Mal rompe a manhã
Na luz e nas trevas
Lá vai a louçã
Da morte zombando
Na aurora lunar
Num jardim suspenso
Do seu folgar
