- 1970, Anton Buttigieg, “It-Tallab”, in Fl-Arena:
  Wara l-bibien,
  fit-tul tat-toroq twal,
  batejt
  il-għeja
  il-qtigħ ta’ qalb,
  batejt fuq kollox il-mistħija;
  iżda ġarrabt ukoll
  il-ferħ u l-għaxqa
  li kull tallab iħoss
  x’ħin jasal wisq għajjien bil-ħorġa f’idu
  bil-ħobż għand ommu mġewħa.
