    • 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
