Poem Leilão de Jardim

What does a garden buy me with flowers?
Borboletas de muitas cores,
lavadeiras e passarinhos,
ovos verde e azuis nos ninhos?

Who can buy me this snail?
What does he buy me a sun ray?
A lizard between the wall and hera,
a spring statute?

What does this formigueiro buy for me?
And this toad, what is a gardener?
E a cicada and his song?
E o grilinho inside do chão?

(This is meu leilão.)
