Allí dalt de la muntanya tot el bé de Déu hi tinc: les roses de quatre en quatre i els clavells de cinc en cinc, l’estimada a la finestra, l’ovella amb l’esquellerinc; per rellotge, el sol que toca a cada hora un greny d’afrau; el pollancre per la fressa i l’alzina per la pau, i per gaudi, cada núvol ala-estès com una nau; par jaç d’or, una pallissa, per llumenera un estel, per finestra que no es tanca un retall tot blau de cel; i per criats que em despertin, un quiquiriquic i un bel. Allí dalt de la muntanya, tant enlaire, tot hi és: la riquesa ben colgada, perquè l’home la fangués; l’alegria entre fretures, com rosada entre esbarzers; la salut entre l’orenga i les flors de penical; aterrat amb creus de palma, el dimoni en un fondal, i Nostre Senyor devora, estadant del pis de dalt.
