«Χρυσή Βροχή.»

ΧΡΥΣΗ ΒΡΟΧΗ.

Ἂν εἶχον, φίλη, τὴν χρυσῆν σου κόμην,
Θέλεις νὰ σ' εἴπω τί ἐφανταζόμην;
− Τί; − Ὡς ὁ Ζεὺς ἐπάνω σου χρυσῆ
Εὐθὺς θὰ ἔπιπτον βροχή.
Ἐγέλασεν ἡ φίλη ἡ χρυσῆ
Καὶ μ' εἶπεν − "Ἡ Δανάη γίνου σύ." −
Κι' ἐξετελέσθη ἡ εὐχή!…

Γ. Στρατήγης, Ροδοδάφναι, Αθήνα, Τυπογ. Π. Περρή, 1880, σ. 67
