THE PLEDGE
"You say, oh little Mary
That you don't believe my promises
That never fulfilled they are!
But if I haven't promised you anything,
how can you, silly one,
know if I fulfill them or not?
You say I always lie,
That I protest what I don't feel,
That every poet is fickle,
Capricious as a butterfly;
But now, in this very instant,
I'll prove you the contrary."
My favorite part, though, is the ending of the pledge itself, a bit later:
"By the lilies, by the roses,
By the beautiful stars,
By the sun that shines right now,
I swear I'll give you, Mary
Forty kisses every day,
And ten hugs every hour"
In Portuguese there's a simple, disarming beauty in it.
I've made a small animation from this poem (in Portuguese):

It is touching and true, isn't it? ;-)
