Meu filho, levou-mo Deus... Levou? Nem sei! Afinal, Eu vejo o sempre, tal qual, Seus olhos fitos nos meus. Meu filho, levou-mo Deus... Passou, agora, o Natal: Na terra como nos céus... Sonhei, e vi o, entre as flores, Hinos, estrelas e amores De alto Presépio divino. E a Virgem, mostrando o ao colo: "Olhai! É mesmo um consolo... Lembra Jesus em menino!"
