Ajda na polju

ME ZMERAJ V SRCU ZABOLI,
SAJ VEM, PRIHAJA SPET JESEN,
MEGLENI DAN, MRAZ IN DEŽ LEDEN.
KO AJDA NA POLJU DOZORI,
SE SONCE NA HITRO POSLOVI,
V DEŽELI JE MRZLA SPET JESEN,
KI SANJE ODNESE VSEM LJUDEM.
KOT AJDA NA POLJU JE NAŠE ŽIVLJENJE
OD CVETJA DO ZIME KORAK JE SAMO,
V ŽALOST OBRNE SE VSAKO VESELJE,
A VENDAR ŽIVETI JE LEPO.
KO AJDA NA POLJU ZACVETI
SE ZADNJE MI UPANJE RODI,
A KMALU PREKRIJE GA JESEN,
LE ZIMA JE BLIŽJA DAN ZA DNEM.
KOT AJDA NA POLJU JE NAŠE ŽIVLJENJE
OD CVETJA DO ZIME KORAK JE SAMO,
V ŽALOST OBRNE SE VSAKO VESELJE,
A VENDAR ŽIVETI JE LEPO,
A VENDAR ŽIVETI JE LEPO.
