Koder hodim, vedno in povsod me spremlja mogočni šum Kolpe, ki se preliva pod viniškim gradom čez jez, in rahlo žuborenje Dobreća, studenca, skritega blizu Dragatuša v najtišji dragi sveta.

Povej mi kdo, kam oblaki plujo, kam ptice lete, kam vode teko, kam človek gre.

Iz slovstva za deco je najboljše komaj dovolj dobro.

Vesel sem, da mi je tekla zibka v Beli krajini, polni svetlobe in blagoglasja.

Mlad, mlad – to se pravi v srcu vsega življenja.

Kuj me, življenje, kuj!

Meh za smeh in vrečo sreče Ciciban za nami vleče, ne za hišo zidano, le za voljo židano.

Predaj se vetrom – naj gre, kamor hoče! Naj srce se navriska in izjoče! Vendar mornar, ko je najvišji dan, izmeri daljo in nebeško stran.

Odpri vrata, krajina mi bela, svetla in vesela, bodi v nji vsa zlata.

Kdor ljubi vino, z njim sem brž ubran, kdor ljubi ženo, mi je blagrovan, kdor ljubi knjigo, bodi spoštovan, vi ljubite vse troje – ne bova si nadvoje.

Veš, poet, svoj dolg?

Podaj mi roko, pesem, ti me vodi.
