INSPIRAÇÕES DO SOL

HYMNO AO SOL

Vous prêtres! qui murmurez, vous portez ses signes sur tout votre corps: «votre tonsure» est le disque du «soleil,» votre «étole» est son zodiaque, vos «chapelets» sont l'embléme des astres et des planétes.

VOLNEY (LES RUINES)

Eu te saudo ó Sol, bello astro amigo! (Tão pontual ha tantos centos d'annos) Mais reluzente que um broquel antigo, Mais dourado que sceptros de tyranos; Avé, heroica luz! viva e sonora, Vestindo o mundo, emquanto aos ceus erguidas, As florestas extensas dão gemidos, E o duro mar se chora!

Eu te saudo, ó astro das batalhas!... Por que atravez das cruas dissenções, Douras o pó que se ergue das mortalhas. E levantas os nossos corações! E por isso, ainda hoje, e eternamente, Os romanticos te hão de a ti saudar, E os tristes sempre irão, á luz poente, Ver te morrer no mar!
