Let me try in Draseléq:

    Riokun i nongresur

    Kefarmadnaier giad
    sidhérraqeik kof
    mi farung dondung thrósaqeik
    on sìnth, navnot, nefnot?


Riokun i nongresur
Ryokun * poem

    * in this case, _i_ functions as a compositive
      link -- as if the poem is "made of" Ryokun!

Ke- far-mad-naier  giad
QST.NEG.ABL.see.2s 2s

    This is 'Can't you see?' (the difference with
    'Don't you see?' as in the original is one
    syllable only, and this one seemed better.


si- dhérraqeik   kof
PRF.change.3pFUT things

mi  farung    dondung   thrósaqeik
and this_side that_side die.3pFUT

    _farung dondung_ is idiomatic here. They usually
    refer to the two halves of a split thing or place.


on  sìnth,  navnot,   nefnot?
all flowers near_time far_time

    These last two words are new coinings, but plausible
    (words ending in <-not> 'time' are everywhere).
