Mostr6 ell sol sus rayos de oro
ell niflo alegre ufano
Abrio La cerrada mano
Para mirar su tesoro
iQu6 es este. exclama al momento
FL incauto simplecillo,
Viendo un ligero polvillo
Que Sc disipa ell ell viento.
sDe que tie asombras, mi amor,
Clama su madre querida,
ST es polvo la bumana vida,
Polvo la planta y la flor!
Ese despojo que vuela
Y que 4 tus ojos Sc esconde,
Mejor que yo tie responde
Y ell triste fin tie revela.
Gallo la madre amorosa;
y el en- edad tan temprana
Vi6 escrita la ley tirana.
Con alas de mariposa.
