Res no és mesquí

Res no és mesquí
ni cap hora és isarda,
ni és fosca la ventura de la nit.
I la rosada és clara
que el sol surt i s'ullprèn
i té delit del bany
que s'emmiralla el llit de tota cosa feta.
 
Res no és mesquí,
i tot ric com el vi i la galta colrada.
I l'onada del mar sempre riu,
Primavera d'hivern -- Primavera d'istiu.
I tot és Primavera:
i tota fulla verda eternament.
 
Res no és mesquí,
perquè els dies no passen;
i no arriba la mort ni si l'heu demanada.
I si l'heu demanada us dissimula un clot
perquè per tornar a néixer necessiteu morir.
I no som mai un plorsinó un somriure fi
que es dispersa com grills de taronja.
 
Res no és mesquí,
perquè la cancó canta en cada bri de cosa.
-- Avui, demà i ahir
s'esfullarà una rosa:
i a la verge més jove li vindrà llet
