Ja veig damunt la terra de foc el nostre pi Oh gent que per les feixes daurades feu camí! em sobta com un vi la força tota vella i humil que ens agermana. (És viu com la ginesta i com el blau marí el teu escarafall, oh noia catalana.) Com somrieu en hores del vespre, masos blancs, entre pallers de bona companyia, i cada mas ateny en curta rodalia bosquet i blat i vinya i un marge amb tres pollancs. Voldria, tot perdent-me per valls i fondalades dir tes llaors, oh terra de salut! enmig de coses fosques i vides oblidades com aquest grill que canta dins un camí perdut.
