Shvalbn vi tunkele fayln
Far der kinstlerin Sylvia Ary

Shvalbn, vi tunkele fayln
Hobn geviret di luft
In der leng,
In der breyt
Far dem mildn farnakht,
Vos vet aynzamlen
Der umru,
Di zorgn fun tog
Eyder er gargeyt

S'hot ayngehaltn dem otem di erd,
Zi zol kenen derhern
Dos rizlen fun zaftn
In shtamen fun beymer,
Vos zenen geshtanen forkhtik un fartrakht
Un gevart oyf der rege geheymer,
Ven s'vet der himl
Zeyer kop bakroynen
Mit di yunge shtern.
