Portuguese to English Other Poetry & Literature Lyrical poetry

As far as I know, there are two possible interpretations for Portuguese "grande". It could mean either "big/large" or "great" (or both). I'm leaning towards the former.

Besides, I'm particularly interested in getting feedback on a couple of issues: (1) the shift from past tense (died) to the present (is born), as in the original, and (2) the change in meaning from "pasce" (pleases) to "nasce" (is born), somehow creating an antithesis with "morreu" (died). Any other comments/suggestions for improvement will be appreciated. Thank you.

Como uma voz de fonte que cessasse
(E uns para os outros nossos vãos olhares
Se admiraram), p'ra além dos meus palmares
De sonho, a voz que do meu tédio nasce

Parou... Apareceu já sem disfarce
De música longínqua, asas nos ares,
O mistério silente como os mares,
Quando morreu o vento e a calma pasce...

A paisagem longínqua só existe
Para haver nela um silêncio em descida
P'ra o mistério, silêncio a que a hora assiste...

E, perto ou longe, grande lago mudo,
O mundo, o informe mundo onde há a vida...
E Deus, a Grande Ogiva ao fim de tudo...
-- Fernando Pessoa

Tentative Translation:

Like a fountain voice that would cease
(And our vain eyes glanced at one another
With wonder), beyond my dream palm trees
The voice that is born from my boredom

Stopped... It appeared now undisguised
As faraway music, wings in the air,
The silent mystery like the seas,
When the wind died and calm is born...

The faraway landscape only exists
To have in itself a silence that descends
Into the mystery, the silence that time watches..

And, near or far, a big speechless lake,
The world, the unformed world where there is life...
And God, the Big Ogive at the end of all that exists...
