Zlata

A bird carries
three songs over the hills
for all kind of people.

The clock is striking
midnight, no one is leaving,
it's New Year.

I can see autumn coming
in the grass a mower
mows for his cow.

A guitar sings
in the night, birds run away
Tears in my eyes.

 

Jože

A lonely apple-tree,
a lonely field-cricket sings for
all neighbours.

The forest becomes green
Is it asleep or is it dead --
the old oak-tree ?

A crowd in black.
An echo of mould from the grave.
Voice of a cuckoo.

What a surprise !
In a stranger's cabbage-garden
were roses grown.

A bow and strings
of a violin, out of tune.
Cat's marriage.

Abandoned garden.
Spring flowers are blossoming.
Dandelion and daisy.

Hay is taken away.
A flock of crows is flying
in circles above the field.
