Música e letra de Modinha

Estrêla formosa burl rosa oistante
que fulges radiante na treva sem luz
semelhas aquela mais bela.
Que outrora na fímbria draurora
fulgiu prá Jesus.

E assim como os magos nos vagos seguiram
sòzinhos pra ver Cristo rei
Eu corro no en calço do falso.
Teu brilmo que é filho dorido
do ol vido e desdém.

by Afonso Arinos (1868-1916)
