«Feliç qui amb fills, alous i bous sap dur
Més alt que tots el penó dels seus zels
I en verb natiu ajusta un rim segur»

Exalço amb tinta i paper,
Cels morents i rima nova,,
O rondo al fosc de la Cova
De Qui promet, mitjancer,
Cels morents i Terra nova.

                                                              El Port de la Selva, 1956
