Nati yar mara nin

Here is another experiment with a fixed form - a triolet.

I lóme melinye
rá ilyan ya calima
imbe Menel Cemenye.
I lóme melinye
yá silme *cirihtanye
ar tintanye licuma,
an i lóme melinye
rá ilyan ya calima.

Things that I like

I love the night
for all that is bright
between Heaven and Earth.
I love the night
when I reap the starlight
and kindle a candle,
for I love the night
for all that is bright.

And here is an English version also in Triolet form:

It may sound trite, but the night I love
for all that is fair and bright
on Earth and way, way above.
It may sound trite, but the night I love
when starlight I reap thereof
or the heat of a candle's light.
Let it sound trite, the night I love
for all that is fair and bright.
