[aescheretalks]

Plej sola dum duopoj, sed mi celis

mian feliĉon, kie mi nur povis

kien sopiro stranga ĉiam pelis

When coupled I was most alone, yet sought

happiness where I could, where I was bound

by the compulsions of a curious yearning.

"Neĝo" by William Auld w/ translation

Neĝo  William Auld Pestsilenta la neĝ' invadas venkas la urbon; kaj ni, popol' venkita marŝas senespere la stratojn kun nuko kurba sub jug' de l' okupanta armeo blanka. Printempo, helpon! Kiam ni aŭdos fanfaron vian ĉe l' horizonto?

(translation->)

Snow By William Auld (from Esperanto)

Plague-silent  the snow invades, conquers the city: and we a conquered people hopelessly pace the streets with neck bent under the yoke of the occupying white forces. Spring, help! When shall we hear your fanfare on the horizon?
