slovenia

Echoes from the past so beguiling and bewitching

So it was and shall be !!!

Slovenia my home ~ Slovenija moja domovina

"This I say to you"

"Though I live a thousand years

I shall never forget my heritage

So precious and so very rare

Zivé naj vsi naródi,
ki hrepené docakat' dan,
da, koder sonce hodi,
prepir iz svéta bo pregnan;
da rojak
prost bo vsak,
ne vrag, le sosed bo mejak!

God's blessing on all nations,
Who long and work for that bright day,
When o'er earth's habitation
No war, no strife shall hold its sway;
Who long to see
That all man free
No more shall foes, but neighbours be.
Franc Preseren

The above is Slovenia

with various scenery

Are there elsewhere mountains like ours, hills and lakes, to divert the eye and heart, is there anywhere so much natural and disparate beauty on such a small piece of land as this Slovene land. Is there anywhere else in the world such generousity of nature to be seen as in Slovenia my homeland

Faraway

oh friend of mine across the sea lies my homeland memories like waves over the sea glide then,in all its splendor I see the mountains, lakes, the waterfalls my eyes glimpsing a glorious sight
I feel the fresh breezes as I travel across golden fields now travelling upon well known paths to the home where my cradle used to be
oh home of mine I have travelled far to see you once again but you, you remain silent, you know me not yet, yet, I can't forget once you were my home the trees softly whisper harken now, hear what I have to say your home shall always remain your home in your dreams in the land so far away wistfully I softly whispered goodbye my home goodbye -=|=- ©1997 Ven -=|=- All Rights Reserved"
