“مادرم گندم درون آب می ریزد
پنجره بر آفتاب گرمی آور می گشاید
خانه می روبد، غبار چهره ی آیینه ها را می زداید
تا شب نوروز
خرمی در خانه ی ما پا گذارد

بشکفد در ما و سرسبزی برآرد.
ای بهار، ای میهمان دیر آینده
کم کمک این خانه آماده ست
تک درخت خانه ی همسایه ی ما هم
برگهای تازه ای داده ست.

― Chomsky Noam
