This bench is dedicated to Anrique Paço d 'Arcos, a Portuguese poet. It is placed in front of the Torre de Belém (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) so you can sit and admire it.
The bench is made of stone and it reads:
"Noite negra, negra noite!
Ai dos que vão pelo mar!
Menina dos olhos tristes,
Acenda as velas no altar:
Que Deus vele pelas velas,
Que andam perdidas no mar!
Menina dos olhos tristes.
A quem o noivo deixou,
Reze por ele... (quem sabe
Se nas ondas naufraou?!)
Anrique Paço d 'Arcos"
