Adriano Nunes: "Ode To Oblivion"

"Ode To Oblivion"

Give me, Erato,
Thy lyre
For that 
I can sing a verse
Of love,
So that
The night dissipates
And does not leave
In my head
Any fear
That love is
Worth nothing.

If thou canst not,
Say to Euterpe
That I need
Her flute,
So that
The night ends
And does not leave
In my heart
Any impression
That love does not
Befit
What I wish.
