This piece of very cheap poetry is the first text I have ever written in Crimean Gothic. It ia part of a kind of country song., not very different in inspiration from modern Celtic - that is Breton music (well, Breton music is far better than that, but I am no singer). As it is the rule, it is caracterized by a rather archaic (to make "fine" writting) or dialectal (to fit the audience) features :
- the use of the dative post-poned articlee -ire instead of more modern -ere
- the use of the dialectal demonstrative <enet instead of Freb�risk -�ar
- the use of archaic indefinte article -et instead of enet

Suna an hedire.ach enet kald in herten �inem
In schwarten �chem �inem tr�men af enem andrem livene
en friesang �e schwalde� an lipem �inem
tu piden et schip �e kome� ne.

Bi wem mach ene qen tr�men
�en niwez haf se tu wenen
is ne schal itkomen


The sun on the moor and this cold in thy heart
In thy black eyes, the dream of another life
a love-song that dies on your lips
to wait for a ship that will not come

what can a woman dream of
when she has nothing to hope
he won't come back
