Quotes
Mi seaf imfnüd se doach te tsmüng ăbüch mosrel,
Tes tsor hălpduth șăm'it — lăta, chnet fa mi yem!
Rinoat ef loc Dămath, dicleap yaf imhăcwel;
Doar bang, yăsnar, tămnüth, mi sngom se chwep păhem.
As summer days trudge on, and meet the winter soil,
And all hope comes to naught — light shines from far away.
Let Fortune turn her wheel, oblivious to our toil;
We skilled ones persevere, and seek the light of day.
