L(poems on the underground)

           HARVESTWOMAN

Mas não, é abstrata, é una ave
  De som solteando no ar do ar
E a alma canta sem entrave
  Poisque o canto é que faz cantar

FERNANDO PESSOA

No longer among us, an oriole golden,
  Inspired by an air and through the air winging
And showing her spirit is all unbeholden
  For only her song is compelling her singing
