Liberté (excerpt) — Paul Éluard
Sur mes cahiers d’écolier
Sur mon pupitre et les arbres
Sur le sable sur la neige
J’écris ton nom
Liberté
I like french. Plus nice poem. Plus liberty. Plus french.

On my school notebooks
On my desk and the trees
On the sand on the snow
I write your name
Freedom

French people fought to get freedom. Russian people fought to keep being oppressed.

They have a different definition of freedom in russia.
The Rose Tree
BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS
'O words are lightly spoken, '
Said Pearse to Connolly,
'Maybe a breath of politic words
Has withered our Rose Tree;
Or maybe but a wind that blows
Across the bitter sea. '
'It needs to be but watered, '
James Connolly replied,
'To make the green come out again
And spread on every side,
And shake the blossom from the bud
To be the garden's pride. '
'But where can we draw water, '
Said Pearse to Connolly,
'When all the wells are parched away?
O plain as plain can be
There's nothing but our own red blood
Can make a right Rose Tree. '
