Giacinti, e violete Fa in tera baossete1: Che gusto! che giubilo! L'inverno è scampà. La Neve è svania, La brina è finia, Xe tepida l'aria, El sol chiapa fià. Sgualdina Anzoleto, Col so cesteleto, Salata e radichio I va a sgarugiar. Vardè la sisila, La canta, la trila; El nio la se fabrica, Tornada dal mar. Le piegore salta, S'ingropa, e rebalta... Che stala? ... sì al pascolo Co tuti i bebè: Le guida Tognoto, Sonando el subioto; No ocore più l'elera: Erbeta ghe n'è. Amici, [fè]2 ciera Xe qua primavera: Me 'l dise quel nuvolo... Sentì! sentì el ton! Ohimè! che sta idea El cuor me ricrea, E tuto desmentego Quel fredo baron. Ancora un meseto, E ['l]3 russignoleto Col canto ne [sgiozzola]4 Su l'anima el miel. Stagion deliziosa! Ti vien co la rosa, Ti parti col giglio, Fior degno del ciel.
R. Hahn sets stanzas 1-2, 7-10
