SAD SONG - by Rahel Bluwstein

 

SAD  SONG by  Rahel Bluwstein Do you hear me, you who areSo far away from me, my dear?Do you hear me crying aloud,Wishing you were well, wishing you were near? The world is vast, its ways diverse,Brief meetings, partings long,Men, with unsure feet, post on never to return, too weakTo find the treasure they have lost.My last day drawing nearOf the tears of separationI will await you untilmy life leavesas Rahel did her beloved.
