Sonnet 18

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimm’d;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st;
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Wanderlied

Wo wir uns der Sonne freuen,
Sind wir jede Sorge los;
Daß wir uns in ihr zerstreuen,
Darum ist die Welt so groß.
Wo wir trinken, wo wir lieben,
Da ist reiche, freie Welt.

So kann ich ruhig durch die Welt nun reisen:
Was ich bedarf, ist überall zu haben,
Und Unentbehrliches bring ich mit – die Liebe.

Sei um ninho

Sei um ninho.
E o ninho tem um ovo.
E o ovo, redondinho,
Tem lá dentro um passarinho
Novo.

Mas escusam de me atentar:
Nem o tiro, nem o ensino.
Quero ser um bom menino
E guardar
Este segredo comigo.
E ter depois um amigo
Que faça o pino
A voar…
