in na besede jo lovil,
se bo, tako, kot druge, le nasmihala:
"saj to je tisti, ki na dušo pihat zna".
Ko rož'ce ji bom sadil,
povedal bom, da nisem kriv,
nesramnež brez bontona nisem bil nikdar,
jaz sem prav zares vrtnar.
ÄŒe kakšno dekle povšeči mi je,
takoj na ves glas to povem:
"si lepa kot cvet, v tem šopku deklet,
prav ti si očarala me.
Z veseljem bi k tebi domov prišel,
orodje s sabo imel,
vrtec bi tvoj srčno rad kopal,
in rožo najlepšo ti dal!"
jaz rož'ce bi rad sadil,
a sreča je, da sem še živ.
Dobrota in marljivost pač ne splača se,
dobil sem le špetir , pa še klofuti dve.
Ko rož'ce bom spet sadil,
verjemite, da nisem kriv,
nesramnež brez bontona nisem bil nikdar,
jaz sem prav zares vrtnar.
