A MANOEL SARDINHA

Qĭêm dirĭê q'antre 'ls matos èiriçados,
Las ourrĭêtas i 'ls ríus d'ésta tĭêrra,
Bibĭê, cumo 'l chaguárço de la ſiêrra,
Ũna lhêngua de ſóuns tã bariádos?

Mostre-ſe i fále-ſ' éssa lhêngua, filha
D’um póbo qe tiêm néilha 'l chóro i 'l cânto!
Nada pur çĭêrto mus câutiba tânto
Cumo la fórm' am qe l'idéia brilha.

[ 16 ]

Desgraciado d’aqél, q'abandunândo
La patri' am qe naçiu, la caza i ’l ǔôrto,
Tamĭêm ſe sqéçe de la fala! Quândo
'L furdes bér, talbéç qe stéia mǔôrto!

Tièrra de Miranda,
7 de Set. de 1881.
