Multe flori lucesc în lume,
Multe flori mirositoare!
Dar ca voi, mici lăcrimioare,
N-are-n lume nicio floare
Miros dulce, dulce nume!

Voi sunteţi lacrimi de îngeri
Pe pământ din cer picate,
Când prin stele legănate
A lor suflete curate
Zbor vărsând duioase plângeri.

Sunteţi fragede şi albe
Ca iubita vieţii mele!
Cu voi, scumpe strugurele,
Albe mărgăritărele,
Primăvara-şi face salbe.

Dar deodată vântul rece
Fără vreme vă coseşte!
Astfel soarta crunt răpeşte
Tot ce-n lume ne zâmbeşte...
Floarea piere, viaţa trece!
