Wall Poems in Leiden
Poems that are painted on the exterior walls of buildings in the city of Leiden, The Netherlands.
Please visit this wonderful website for more information about poems, biographies and fun facts. English translations are available too.
I will try to add poems at least one per day. In no particular order. Hopefully LT community will be able to translate many of them. Thanks in advance.
