===Mailhīmba (The Colour of Water)=== | |||
'''Mailhīmba''' (the Colour of Water) is a short piece of poetry written around 3E 427 <small>(607<sub>10</sub>)</small> by Tariatindī writer Halinækhāvi Naiʔamūta ''Nājaldhīm''. It is a typical example of Chlouvānem poetry, focussing on nature and portraying it as happiness and beauty, including at the very end a call to worship. Metrically, all verses end with the traditional pattern short-long-short-long (''fluñårṣāvi''), the most common in Chlouvānem poetry. | |||

The shadows dance fast<br/> | |||
and light flies as like a cover<br/> | |||
The sun flows further, becoming night<br/> | |||
[and] What's the colour of water? | |||
From blue it will turn to red<br/> | |||
And with grace to green, then to lilac<br/> | |||
Greater pleasure of every star,<br/> | |||
Colour of the waters, scented rose. | |||
The mind which goes around and around<br/> | |||
Soaked in the essence of beauty,<br/> | |||
In the golden waters,<br/> | |||
Spreads in chant the glory of nature.</small> | |||
