Welsh Rain (Free verse) by Sasha
Translated from the Welsh "Glaw" of Huw Meieion Edwards.
Now every hourâs an eternity
as our crosses dry in ink.
The silent, dismal drizzle chills us,
consuming us as we sink
in rain that sprays and sweeps through the city
puddling on parkland and stone
merciless, endless and mocking rain-
a rain that soaks to the bone.
The glasses raised: our wine, our win!
torn between laughs and pain,
the silence of dawn is in the wet air,
mingling our dew with the rain.

I would reply to you in Welsh, but I'm not really good enough to discuss poetry yet (I've been learning for about three years).
