Dove, duck and goose (Zsigmond Móricz)

Dove, duck and goose - Zsigmond Móricz - I'll tell you a story

Once upon a time there was a troubled life,When the waters dried up,The rivers became ropes,The streams became drops,From tree to tree, from mountain to mountainThey dried them one by one,And as drying ropesThey hung on themThe sheets of the seas,The little shawls of lakes and ponds,So they dried, indeed,The many waters in the sun. Well, what can the poor pigeon do,What can the goose and the duck do!They'll join together, they won't die of thirst just for the sake of it,They'll go away at last,When they've had a drink

More with reason than with force - Zsigmond Móricz - I'll tell you a story

Oh beautiful spring time,The forest-meadow is green.The forest-meadow shines bright,The poor man mumbles mournfully. - I'm just working, but it's true:As soon as it's a thing, it's not a thing.Let the devil be here,Let him keep the plough, let him drive the ox.But I'm going, I'm lording it,I'm wandering in the woods and forests. Poor man.
