Petals
--------------
Life is a stream
On which we strew
Petal by petal the flower of our heart;
The end lost in dream,
They float past our view,
We only watch their glad, early start.

Freighted with hope,
Crimsoned with joy,
We scatter the leaves of our opening rose;
Their widening scope,
Their distant employ,
We never shall know. And the stream as it flows
Sweeps them away,
Each one is gone
Ever beyond into infinite ways.
We alone stay
While years hurry on,
The flower fared forth, though its fragrance still stays.

Petalet
------------
Jeta si rreke'
mbi te cilat ne shperndame
petal pas petali lulen e zemrave bashkuar,
fundi ne enderra u humbte,
lundruan pertej aq sa ne pame
vezhgojme vec fillimin, te heret, gezueshem, shpenguar.

Ne me frike nga shpresa mbushur,
te purpurt nga gezimi,
shperdajme keto gjethe te trandafilit, papushim;
horizontet shpalosur,
i larget qellimi,
kurre s'do e dime. Dhe rrekeja tek rrjedh pa ndalim
i hedh tutje, s'mund ta ndalojme,
secila iken e zhduket krejt
larg, larg ne menyra qe askush s'i di.
vec ne mbesim, vec ne qendrojme
e kur vitet vrapojne e ecin shpejt,
Lulja vertet iku shkoi, por brishtesia i ka mbetur perseri.
