Before they came!



 

Tawfiq Zaiyyad



Roses grew on my window sill,
And the moonbeams used to fill
Every corner of my house and backyard:
And dew nurtured my vineyard:
My rich land used to yield
Rich crops in every green filed.
The light of hope used to shine and glean
In my eyes, because I used to dream
Of bread, love, happiness and liberty
For all, away from wrong, death or poverty:
1 dreamt of the warmth, of a shining sun
That would protect me, like everyone,
But that was before the Zionist fire
Burned everything in its filthy quagmire!
