   • 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.
