Ma mernans o toas dhe’n pras. Me a welas corf marow en dadn gwelen dredan ha moas dhe whithra. Soweth, bargas ew. Rag fra ew ev marow? A wrüg ev tremena dhort oos coth?

Death comes to the meadow. I saw a dead body underneath an electricity pole and went to investigate. Alas, it’s a buzzard. Did it pass away from old age? Perhaps it’s young, and it flew against the high voltage electric cables. Did it eat poisoned bait? Is there, perhaps, someone who hates birds of prey. The poor bird is already fly covered.

I am not a fine poetess and my verses are not refined poetry. I would prefer to write songs, but I don't know how to compose the music. I am not a composer. It's hard to get rhymes for some words. Can I remember rhymes? I can't remember exactly. But "amusing" is a rhyme for "exactly" (more or less). "Moth" is another rhyme, but how can I use it? The picture is a peppered moth. Ma whans dhebm a scrifa neppeth didhan

She ought to come with all the flowers of the spring. They are named for the bird. There is a bluebell (cuckoo flower) with blue bells. Cuckoo plants are the same thing. Later, there will be many yellow marigolds. In May, the cuckoo should sing all day. The folksong si

Dead? The language is dead! Rubbish! Nonsense! The language died after the Ordinalia (in the year 1400)? No! After the Reformation in the 16th century all the people spoke English? No!
