by Vasile Alecsandri (1821 - 1890)

Rodica
Language: Romanian (Română) 
Chosen for Diff
Purtând cofiță cu apă rece
Pe ai săi umeri albi, rotunzori,
Juna Rodică voioasă trece
Pe lângă junii sămănători.

Ei cu grăbire îi sar în cale,
Zicând: „Rodică, floare de crin,
În plin să-ți meargă vrerile tale,
Precum tu, dragă, ne ieși cu plin![1]

S-ajungi mireasă, s-ajungi crăiasă!
Calea să-ți fie numai cu flori,
Și casa casă, și masa masă,
Și sânul leagăn de pruncușori!”

Cu grâu de aur ei o presoară,
Apoi cofița întreagă-o beu.
Copila râde și-n cale-i zboară,
Scuturând grâul din părul său.
