Occasional verse and dedications
Dear Mila
Da bi divne snove snila,a ujutro vedra bila,nek' ti mama svako veče:iz ZEKINE čita SREĆE!
So you'll dream the sweetest dreamsand wake bright when morning gleams,let your mother nightly tuckyou in and read BUNNY'S LUCK!
Pa ćeš slatko ti usnutii predivne snove sniti,a ujutro kad se digneš,vesela ćeš, Mila, biti.
Then you'll sweetly fall asleep,dream such wondrous dreams, and then,in the morning, when you rise,Mila, you'll be glad again.
Nek' ti bude u životu,ostvarena želja svaka,to ti žele od sveg srca:djeda tvoj i tvoja baka!
May each wish you ever makein your life come true for you:this with all their hearts they wish,Grandpa and your Granny too!
Dvadeset i petog MARTA,dv'je tisuće trina'jste zime:MILI SPOTH u Stuttgart sada,pjesnik šalje svoje rime.
