A Villanelle
Nisrin Saqile
The same day here, the same night.
Everything beautiful, wonderful, glittering
The sun shining, the stars are bright
Things seen through the same sight
The rain drops on the land shimmering
The same day here, the same night
Brothers and sisters together they fight
Parents for them all day murmering
The sun shining, the stars are bright
The food tastes here the right
The birds with their wings fluttering
The same day here, the same night
The mountains there on a great height
The dreams of the young shattering
The sun shining, the stars are bright
The leaders having their power might
Trees spread here and there scattering
The same day here, the same night
The sun shining, the stars are bright
