In the Jewish hut lamp
In one corner of the pale lights,
The lamps in front of the old man
He reads the Bible. gray
His hair falling on the book.
Over the cradle empty
Jewish woman crying young.
He is sitting in the other corner, head
Poniknuv, a young Jew,
Deeply immersed in thought.
The sad old hut
Preparing a late meal.
Old man, closed holy book,
Copper fasteners batted.
The old woman puts a poor dinner
On the table and the whole family calls.
nobody does not suit, forgetting about food.
Flowing silently watches.
Still asleep in the shadow of the night.
Jewish hut one
Not visited gratifying dream.
On the city bell tower
beats midnight. - Suddenly a heavy hand
Knock them. The family started,
Mlada Jew stands up and the door
With nedoumenyem otvoryaet -
And an unknown stranger enters.
In his hand the rod.
