David Vogel (1891-1943)

Pa'am	Once
Al sfat hakrach esheva, ayef esheva. Pa'am haya li av, aba nuge, shotek. Toch dimdumei kayitz arevim lachashu etzim kehim. Pa'am haya li kfar. Al sfat hakrach esheva, ayef esheva.	At the edge of the city I sit, tiredly sit. Once I had a father, sad, in silence. Through the blood-red summer-twilight's sounds whisper sinister trees. Once I had a home. At the edge of the city I sit, tiredly sit.
