by Vasile Alecsandri (1821 - 1890)

Frumoasă copiliță!
Language: Romanian (Română) 
Frumoasă copiliță!
Spune-mi de unde vii
Cu zâmbet pe guriță,
Cu mândri ochi și vii?

Ce înger mult ferice
Din ceruri te-a adus
Și pe pămînt aice
Străină te-a depus ?
 
Tu ești o nălucire,
Un farmec aurit,
Un vis de fericire,
Un înger de slăvit!

Din cer ești o minune,
Și dulce-i glasul tău
Ca sfânta rugăciune
Când bate ceasul rău!
