Ismália
Alphonsus de Guimaraens

When Ismália went mad, she,
Dreaming in a tower high,
Saw a moon up in the sky,
Saw a moon down in the sea.

Then she started, dreamingly
Bathing in moonlight, to sigh
For the moon up in the sky,
For the moon down in the sea.

Lost in her insanity,
She sung there a lullaby:
She was so close to the sky,
She was so far from the sea.

Like an angel, finally,
She spread both her wings to fly
Toward the moon up in the sky,
Toward the moon down in the sea.

The two angel-wings that she
Got from God flapped and thereby
Her soul soared straight to the sky,
Her flesh sunk deep in the sea.
