CÂNTICO DAS ROSAS

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

"Flores, flores para los muertos",
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Gritava a velha ao pé da escada.
"Rosas, rosas para la enamorada,
Rosas para la novia ensangrentada
".

Rosas de tanto desvelos,
Rosa de amor, de ciúme.
Rosas de dor, de queixume,
Rosa trançada em novelos.

Cântico alegre das rosas.
Canto de dor, funeral.
São rosas em versos, em prosas.
Paixão de odor sensual.

Rosas de tanta beleza,
Rosa de fé, desencanto.
Rosas que choram tristeza,
Rosa encharcada de pranto.

Canto da velha em penumbra,
Canto da noiva que chora.
Chora de amor e deslumbra
Que a primavera é agora...

Rosa que canta e renova.
Rosas que enfeitam meus sonhos.
Rosa que nasce e inova.
Rosas de dias risonhos.
