Poema 101
Haverá de fato uma "manhã"?
Existe uma tal coisa como "Dia"?
Poderia avistá-la das montanhas
Fosse eu tão alta quanto gostaria?
Como as Vitórias-régias ela tem pés?
Tem penas tal qual uma Ave?
Foi trazida de países invulgares?
Dos quais eu nunca ouvi?
Oh qualquer Erudito! Oh qualquer Marujo!
Oh qualquer Sábio nos céus instruído!
Por favor diga a uma pequena Peregrina
Onde o lugar chamado "manhã" fica escondido!
Poem 101
Will there really be a "morning"?
Is there such a thing as "Day"?
Could I see it from the mountains
If I were as tall as they?
Has it feet like Water lilies?
Has it feathers like a Bird?
Is it brought from famous countries
Of which I have never heard?
Oh some Scholar! Oh some Sailor!
Oh some Wise Man from the skies!
Please to tell a little Pilgrim
Where the place called "morning" lies!

Oh some Scholar! Oh some Sailor!
Oh some Wise Man from the skies!
