"As Meninas" by Cecília Meireles (in Portuguese)

Arabela 
Abria a janela.  

Carolina 
erguia a cortina.

E Maria 
olhava e sorria: 
"Bom dia!" 

Arabela 
foi sempre a mais bela. 

Carolina, 
a mais sábia menina. 

E Maria 
apenas sorria: 
"Bom dia! 

Pensaremos em cada menina 
que vivia naquela janela; 
uma que se chamava Arabela, 
outra que se chamou Carolina. 

Mas a nossa profunda saudade 
é Maria, Maria, Maria, 
que dizia com voz de amizade: 
"Bom dia!" 

"The Kraken" by Lord Alfred Tennyson (in English)

Below the thunders of the upper deep,

Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea,

His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep

The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee

About his shadowy sides; above him swell

Huge sponges of millennial growth and height;

And far away into the sickly light,

From many a wondrous grot and secret cell

Unnumbered and enormous polypi

Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green.

There hath he lain for ages, and will lie

Battening upon huge sea worms in his sleep,

Until the latter fire shall heat the deep;

Then once by man and angels to be seen,

In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.
