-Fanciulla, che fai sulla tua porta guardando da lontano per quella via?
- Ah se sapesse, quando lei e morta, di la l’anno portata la mamma mia. Mi hanno detto che di la debbe tornare e son qui da quattro anni ad aspettare.
- O povera fanciulla. Tu non sai che i morti al mondo non ritornano mai?
- Tornano al vaso i fiorellini miei. Tornano le stelle e tornerà anche lei.
