O c\u00e2nt\u0103rea\u0163\u0103 privighetoare,
\nDe mic\u0103 prins\u0103, st\u0103 la \u00eenchisoare,
\n\u015ei colivia i-era loca\u015f.
\nVreme la mijloc mult\u0103 trecuse,
\nDar ea s\u0103 uite tot nu putuse
\nDe unde-a luat-o omul vr\u0103jma\u015f.
\nNencetat trist\u0103 g\u00e2ndea cu jale
\nL-a tinere\u0163ii vesel\u0103 vale,
\nL-acele cr\u00e2nguri, l-acel izvor,
\nUnde l-a nop\u0163ii lin\u0103 t\u0103cere
\nEa a vie\u0163ii c\u00e2nta pl\u0103cere,
\nRazele zilei, dulcele-amor.
\nLa c\u00e2te p\u0103s\u0103ri sunt zbur\u0103toare,
\nSloboda via\u0163\u0103 e lucru mare;
\nNatura este patria lor.
\nA\u015fa \u015fi mica pas\u0103rea noastr\u0103,
\nCare de minte era cam proast\u0103,
\nC\u0103ta mijloace s\u0103 scape-n zbor.
\nAst\u0103 dorin\u0163\u0103 e l\u0103udat\u0103,
\nC\u00e2nd e-nt\u0103rit\u0103 pe judecat\u0103
\n\u015ei c\u00e2nd folosul e prev\u0103zut;
\nDar ea uitase c\u0103 mai-nainte
\nO-n\u015ftiin\u0163ase un pui cuminte
\nC\u0103 vr\u00e2nd s\u0103 zboare mul\u0163i au c\u0103zut.
\nEa n-avea aripi. F\u0103r\u0103 mijloace,
\nO p\u0103s\u0103ric\u0103 ce poate face,
\nDec\u00e2t supus\u0103 soartei a fi,
\nSau s\u0103 a\u015ftepte p\u00e2n\u0103 s\u0103-i creasc\u0103
\nSmulsele aripi, \u015fi s\u0103 g\u0103seasc\u0103
\nNoi mijloace de a fugi?
\nAstfel pe d\u00e2nsa o sf\u0103tuie\u015fte
\nO r\u00e2ndunic\u0103 ce o iube\u015fte
\n\u015ei care g\u00e2ndul ei \u00eel \u015ftia.
\nExemple multe des \u00eei tot spune
\n\u015ei \u00eei arat\u0103 cu dovezi bune
\nC-acum s\u0103 scape nu va putea.
\nDar tinere\u0163ea ne\u00een\u0163eleapt\u0103
\nPove\u0163i n-ascult\u0103, vremi nu a\u015fteapt\u0103;
\nToate-nainte-i juc\u0103rii s\u00e2nt.
\nPrintre z\u0103brele ea se strecoar\u0103,
\nPu\u0163in se-nal\u0163\u0103, de-o palm\u0103 zboar\u0103,
