Palm Trees

"My land has palm trees where the thrush sings; the birds that sing here, do not sing like there". ("Song of Exile", by Gonçalves Dias).
I apologize for my few skills to translate a poem into a foreign language. Gonçalves Dias was a great Brazilian poet. He wrote this poem - one of the most known Brazilian poems - when he was attending law school in Coimbra, Portugal. He obviously was missing Brazil a lot...
Weather is mostly cloudy, not sure how it will be during the weekend...
