   • 1949, Anton Buttigieg, “Żmien ir-Rebbiegħa”, in Fanali bil-Lejl:

     u qalb il-pal tal-bajtar
     il-flieles żgħar minn bejn ir-rix tal-qroqqa
     joħorġu jnaqqru l-brajma tal-ġulġliena;
     u ġol-benniena
     fid-dar ta’ ħdejn il-lewża
     fil-ħeġġa tal-ħommejr
     jitwieled bambin żgħir
