Salmoa

 Arratsean etorri zitzaion, olibondo-adartxo moztu berria mokoan zekarrela. (Hasiera‬ ‭8:12)

In the evening she returned to him with, lo, in her beak, a freshly plucked olive leaf. (Genesis 8:12)

you will ever more than dove

your ever ancient people

since the flood

their many syllables

so well

doth leaf

of oak or smiling chestnut bough to bend

till breath bereft

so tell 

alone at least thy three 

(YA SHOW-nay)

I, that ever ancient knell.
