Nice poem, with that typical Fado feeling (saudade)...
But hey, what happened to AS - are you tired of it, or you rather use
German based ortho again?

A Dutch version:

PIOENROZENTREURNIS

Ik treur om de rode pioenrozen bij de stoep
Vanavond waren het er nog maar twee
Als de morgenwind waait, is het ook met hen voorbij
Bij lantaarnlicht bewonder ik vannacht het laatste rood

Groeten, Ingmar

>PEONY LAMENT
>I'm grieving about the red peonies by the steps.
>There were only two of them left tonight.
>Come the morning breeze, they, too, will be gone.
>By a lantern's light will I admire the last red in the night.

Not really.  I had just copied the text from a manuscript for with AS was 
not an option.

AS Orthography version:

BUERROSEN-TRUER
Ik truer üm de roden buer-rosen by de stoupen.
Vunavend weern dat man bloots noch twey.
Wayt de morgen-wind, is 't ook mit dey uut un al.
By lateyrnen-licht wunner-wark ik vunnacht oever 't letste rood.

Kumpelmenten,
Reinhard/Ron
