Via Láctea

Olavo Bilac Olavo Bilac

Milky Way

Now, you will say, hearing stars, right
You lost your mind, and I will tell you, however
That, to hear them, I often wake up
And open the windows, pale with astonishment

And we talk all night, while
The Milky Way, like an open pallium
Shines; and, at the coming of the Sun, longing and in tears
I still search for them in the deserted sky

Now you will say: Mad friend
What do you talk to them about? What sense
Does what they say make when they are with you?

And I will tell you: Love to understand them!
For only those who love can have the hearing
Able to listen and understand stars
