A reading of "La Hougue Bie" for World Poetry Day 

Légende dé la Hougue Bie

I' y'a eune êtonnante histouaithe

Qué j'sis prêt à raconter,

Si ch'est qu'ou voulez bein vouos taithe

Et prendre la peine d'êcouter,

Jé n'saithais vouos dithe l'année

Dans tchi qué chenna arrivit;

Mais j'sai où-est qu'v'là tchi s'pâssit,

I' y'a eune divèrse volée.
