Examples from texts

Silent, like sorrowing children, the birds have ceased their song, and only the moorhen's plaintive cry and the harsh croak of the corncrake stirs the awed hush around the couch of waters, where the dying day breathes out her last.
Silencieux comme des enfants tristes, les oiseaux se sont tus ; seuls le cri plaintif du coq de bruyère et le croassement rauque de la corneille troublent la paix vespérale des eaux du fleuve où le jour mourant exhale son dernier souffle.
