“It’s so trying to live without you… <br />Love is such a painful thing, <br />That my life is wasted away, ” <br />This way the little birdie sings. <br /> <br />The wind has carried away her nest, <br />The torrent erased the pure streams, <br />Her food is covered with snow, <br />Heavy clouds hide the sunbeams. <br /> <br />The little birdie mourns over her love, <br />But expectation inspires her body. <br />The very expectation, and not hunger, <br />Has worn away the little birdie. <br /> <br />24.1O.2OO2. <br /> <br />Translated from Georgian<br /><br />Janri Gogeshvili<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hope-and-expectation-inspire-her/
