Poems By Álvares De Azevedo

[Translated by / Traduzido Por]: Felipe Lohan Pinheiro da Silva

☙Sonnet❧

Pale, under the light of the gloomy lamp, Lying down amidst the flower bed, Embalmed like the Moon in the night, ¡ She slept among the clouds of the love!

İt was the Virgin of the Sea, in the cold sea-foam ¡ Lulled by the tide! She was an angel among the clouds of the dawn ¡ That bathed herself while dreamt and forgot about that!

¡ She was the most beautiful one! Her heart beating… Dark eyes under the opening eyelids… Nude contours touching the bed…

¡ Don’t think that İ’m being funny, my cute angel! Because of you –  İ wept while keeping the wake in the nights, ¡ Because of you – İ will die while smiling!

☙My Dream❧

[Me]: Knight of the dark weapons, ¿ Where are you going through the impure darkness, With that blood-stained sword in your hand? ¿ Why your flaming eyes are shining, And the screams from your trembling lips, Releases the fire from your heart?

¿ Knight, who are you? – ¿ The remorse? You seat in the back of the steed… And you ride through the valley… ¡ Oh! Raising the dust from the road Don’t you hear the skeletons shrieking ¿ And the ghost biting your feet?

Where are you going through the impure darkness, Knight of the dark weapons, ¿ Gaunt like a dead one in the tomb?… ¿ Do you hear… İn the tall mountain, A throng following your gallop, And a call for avenging rumbling?

¿ Knight, who are you? What a mystery… Who plotted for your death in the Empire, To make you wander by the haunted night?

[The Phantom]: İ’m the dream of your hope, Your fever that never gives a break, ¡ The delusion that will kill you!…
