She’d gone down…
She’d gone down the end of the meadow,
and since the meadow was in full bloom
with flowers whose stems in water like to grow,
those flooded flowers I had picked.
Soon, moistened, she reached the summit
of that meadow that was in full bloom.
Laughing and panting with the lanky grace
of young girls grown too tall,
she had the look of lavender flowers.

She’d gone to the bottom of the flow’ry meadow,
That meadow all in flower,
With plants who like to grow their stems in the water, the water of that land
Those plants, drowned in the water, I went and I picked them.
And soon, she was soaked through
So back she came, atop, she came atop the meadow,
That meadow all in flower.
Oh how she laughed, oh how she shook,
With all the grace, that gangling grace
Of those girls who grow too tall
She looked just like a flower, she was like lavender.
Winner: Leo Charlier
She had gone down to the bottom of the meadow,
and, as the meadow was all in bloom
with plants with water-loving stems,
these submerged plants I had gathered.
Soon, having become wet, she reached the top
of that meadow all in bloom.
Laughing, she wrung herself dry
with the gangly grace of young girls grown too tall.
She had the gaze of lavender flowers.
