Beyle Shekhter-Gotesman
Ikh volt nisht gekent ahin forn, flien
Un zikher az nisht geyn,
Vi s'iz mayn tate bokhervayz

Tsu yener ershter shprakh-konferents
In nayntsn hundert un akht,
Ven s'hot a ruf im oyfgelaykht

Tsi ken men den arayn in a kholem,
Vos vi fun neplen zikh vayzt,
Mit an oysgeshtrektn orem
Un ruft? Neyn, kh'hob zi farlozt

Dos shlisele ergets farleygt,
Oyfgrobn itst di yorn
Un ontun di yerushe-keyt?
 
Vider geyn dem barg-aroyf
Fun der banstantsye tsum tsenter?
Me flegt dort nemen dem tramvay,
Tsi fort er nokh atsinder?

Di shtoltse "Habsburgshey",
Vi yidishe lider hobn geklungen
Un debates in yeder aley...
 
A pakhed nemt mikh durkh un durkh
Tsu trakhtn nor az kh'vel
Nokhgeyn dem mirazh fun a kholem
Vos plutsem tsetsvit af mayn shvel.
