Af a shteyn

zitst a reytekh mit a khreyn.

Zugt der reytekh:

Etekh – betekh!

S'iz der himl azoy reyn –

lomir beyde tantsn geyn!

Bald gevorn iz a freyd

in gelofn kind-in-keyt –

s'tantst a reytekh mit a khreyn!

Vi zhe loyft men dus nit zeyn?

Meshiyekhs tsat hot men gemeynt

in me hot far freyd geveynt.

Ekh bin oykhet dort geveyn,

tsigeshtipt hob ekh zekh shver

in kh'hob oykh gelozt a trer.
