\nO pas\u0103re micu\u0163\u0103 \u00ee\u0163i este o povar\u0103
\n\u015ei chiar u\u015forul v\u00e2nt
\nCe fa\u0163a apei mi\u015fc\u0103, din simpl\u0103 \u00eent\u00e2mplare,
\nTe-apleac\u0103 la p\u0103m\u00e2nt
\n\u015ei te doboar\u0103 \u2013
\n\u00cen timp ce fruntea mea de Caucaz seme\u0163
\nNu numai c\u0103 opre\u015fte chiar razele de soare,
\nCi-nfrunt\u0103 \u015fi furtuna, \u00eendr\u0103zne\u0163.
\nCe pentru tine este criv\u0103\u0163, zefir e pentru mine
\n\u015ei de te-ai fi n\u0103scut \u00eencaltea
\nSub ramurile mele-nalte,
\nFerit\u0103 de furtuni te-a\u015f \u0163ine.
\nDar tu te na\u015fti, vezi bine,
\n\u00cen umede \u0163inuturi de v\u00e2nt cutreierate.
\nNatura \u0163i-e ingrat\u0103, cum nici nu se mai poate.

\n\u2013 De o atare mil\u0103 m\u0103 simt profund mi\u015fcat\u0103.
\nDar s\u0103 l\u0103s\u0103m aceasta, c\u0103ci dup\u0103 c\u00e2t \u00eemi pare,

\nDec\u00e2t e pentru mine, c\u00e2nd bate v\u00e2ntul tare:
\nM-apleac\u0103, nu m\u0103 fr\u00e2nge puternica-i suflare.
\n\u00cen ce prive\u015fte \u00eens\u0103 tot ce a\u0163i sus\u0163inut \u2013
\nC\u0103 rezista\u0163i din temelii
\nOric\u0103rei vijelii,
