A Yidish Kind

In a litvish derfl vayt

In a shtibl on a zayt,

Durkh a fentster nit keyn groys

Kukn kinderlekh aroys,

Yingelekh mit flinke kep,

Meydelekh mit blonde tsep,

Un tsuzamen dort mit zey,

Kukn oygn shvartse tsvey.

Oygn shvartse ful mit kheyn,

un a nezele a kleyn,

Lipelekh tsum kushn nor,

Shtark gelokte shvartse hor.

Di mame hot im gebrakht

Ayngeviklt in der nakht,

Gekusht im shtark un geklogt,

Shtilerheyt tsu im gezogt:

Fun haynt mayn kind, vet zayn dayn ort,

Gedenkst dayn mames letste vort

Ikh bahalt dikh do derfar,

Vayl dayn lebn drot gefar,

Mit di kinder shpil zikh fayn,

Shtil, gehorkhzam, zolstu zayn,

Keyn yidish vort, keyn yidish lid,

Vayl du bist nit mer keyn yid.

Dos kind bay ir bet zikh shtark:

Kh'vil mame, nor zayn mit dir,

Mame farloz nit iber mir aleyn,

S'kind fargeyt zikh in geveyn.

Zi hot im gut gekusht a sakh,

Ober helft ir nit keyn zakh,

S'kind nor taynet: neyn un neyn,

Kh'vil nit blaybn do aleyn.

Af di hent genumen im,

Un mit veykhkayt in ir shtim

Zingt zi: yingele, du mayn,

Un zi vigt im azoy ayn.

Nokh dem veynt zi fray zikh oys

Un zi tret fun shtub aroys,

Ongefilt mit zorg un shrek,

Un zi geyt in nakht avek.

A Kelt in droysn un a vint,

Hert a kol zikh: oy, mayn kind.

Gelozt dikh af fremde hent,

Andersh hob ikh nit gekent.

Geyt a mame, mit zikh redt,

Un in droysn shreklekh kalt un shpet,

S'voyet in ponem ir der vint

Got, hob rakhmones af mayn kind!

Fremde shtub mit mentshen fil,

S'yingele iz shtum un shtil.

Redt nit, bet nit, vil keyn zakh,

Zeltn ven er tut a lakh.

Nit keyn tog un nit keyn nakht,

Nit er shloft un nit er vakht,

Vasilko a nomen fremd

Af zayn hertsl drikt un klemt.

A mames harts voglt vu arum,

Vi ir yosele oykh shtum,

Keyner veys nit, keynem art,

Un zi vart un vart un vart.

Tsu Yokheved iz zi glaykh,

Azoy vi Moyshe afn taykh

Elnt, eynzam afn vint,

Iz farlozt ir eyntsik kind.
