Labing-dalawang Rosas Para Kay Bonifacio

  1. Ang iyong dibdib ay napaso sa init ng lumalagablab na galit
  2. Marahil napagod na rin sa kaaasang ang hustisya’y makamit;
  3. At di na papayag pang muling maging kaawa-awang alipin
  4. Sa mga dayuhang ninakaw ang yaman at maging dangal natin.
  5. Sumubok lumaban at itinaas ang bolong sagisag ng katapangan,
  6. Kung maikli man ang tagumpay o sawi ang kapalaran
  7. Dinig ng langit ang iyong pusong naghihinagpis at kalungkutan.
  8. Kung nagkamali man ang iyong kapatirang binuo ng iyong pawis
  9. At nagkanulo ang katipunang inakay mo sa iyong sugatang bisig
  10. Para saan pa ba ang buhay mong sa baya’y inibig?
  11. At ang bantayog mong nababad sa init ng maghapon at magdamag
  12. Nawa’y hindi malimot ng bawat Pilipino ang inalay mong buhay at kamatayan.
