The Lonely Say by Avraham ben Yitshak

Day to day bequeathes a glimmering sun
and night laments for night
and summer after summer is gathered up in fallen leaves
and the world sings from its sorrow


and tomorrow we shall die speechless
and upon the day of our leaving, we shall stand before the gate at closing time
and when the heart rejoices that indeed God has brought us close to Him -
it will then repent from joy and will tremble in fear of treachery.


Day to day bears a burning sun
and night after night pours out stars;
upon the lips of the lonely, song comes to a halt:
into seven paths we part ways, and by one we return.
