Unending Strife!

-

 Sit I here enveloped in the darkness of turmoil, 

hearing the heart breathing rue and clamour of eyes. 

Hard I try yet endeavours smirk at my failing toil, 

seems as if fortune and dejection have become allies.  


Fondest memories offer bleak solace full with desolation, 

bringing emptiness with teary commotion in the deathly silence. 

Love dried well harbours neither feelings nor resolution, 

dark of the spirit tries suffocating the sun-ray with its violence.   



New sun brings a new day with scarce light, 

also a nightingale crooning blue strains with flooded eyes. 

Frown of despair pushes spring off sight, 

bringing me close to hear repressively hushed cries. 


As long as I sit here in a mood so pensive, 

dejection shall prevail, spring shall remain apprehensive.

Tears of mine are rare there; to all my troubles she applies her care. The first step with her help I took, I fall not, thus never ever her eyes shook. My confused babbling was well understood; in a world where even clear words are misunderstood. she fed me without delay in night, happy she and I remained in each other’s sight. The first day t

The Last Lesson by Sukhpreet Singh

The Last Lesson Read the extracts and answer the questions that follow: 1.Then, as I hurried by as fast as I could go, the blacksmith, Wachter, who was there, with his apprentice, reading the bulletin, called after me, “Don’t go so fast, bub; you’ll get to your school in plenty of time!” I thought he was making fun of me, and reached M. Hamel’s little garden all out of breath i.                      Why was the narrator in hurry and where was he heading to? ii.                    “Don’t go so fast, bub; you’ll get to your school in plenty of time!” Why did Wachter say so? iii.                   What impact did Wachter’s statement had on Franz?       2. But now it was all so still! I had counted on the commotion to get to my desk without being seen; but, of course, that day everything had to be as quiet as Sunday morning. Through the window I saw my classmates, already in their places, and M. Hamel walking up and down with his terrible iron ruler under his arm. I had
