-Ang Mag-uuling-



1 Ang mag-uuling na si Alyna

Bahid man ng itim, ang kutis sutla



2 Ipinaglihi sa labanos itong binibini

Kaya ang balat ay napakaputi



3 Subalit mukhang hindi bagay

Kung saan siya nakalagay



4 Araw-araw nagsisiga

Ng mga kahoy at sanga



5 Nagbabagang kahoy hinihintay

Na ang apoy ay mamatay



6 Iyon ang tanging kabuhayan

Nitong dalaga ng silangan



7 Tuwing dapit-hapon

Mga uling pinupunpon.
