هذه قصيدة بالانكليزية للشاعر الفلسطيني توفيق زياد , هي من احدى الكتب المدرسية وأنا أحبها جدا , آمل أن تعجبكم
Roses blosomed on my window siLL
Grapes vines grew at the foot of the hiLL
Oranges , olives and figs were always seen
flourishing everywhere , making the soil green
My house embraced the warm sun,s rays
That decorated my blessed beautiful days
The roof bathed in the moon,s golden beams
And, like all my people, I had sweet dreams
My homeland had promise and open hope
Before the invaders came with a rope
To strangle every breath of nimble life
And to plunder with vicious , angry strife
Depriving my people of air , warmth and light
While the world looked idly at my plight
Roses blosomed on my window siLL
Grapes vines grew at the foot of the hiLL
Oranges , olives and figs were always seen
flourishing everywhere , making the soil green
My house embraced the warm sun,s rays
That decorated my blessed beautiful days
The roof bathed in the moon,s golden beams
And, like all my people, I had sweet dreams
My homeland had promise and open hope
Before the invaders came with a rope
To strangle every breath of nimble life
And to plunder with vicious , angry strife
Depriving my people of air , warmth and light
While the world looked idly at my plight
