I asked of my Muse had she any objection	A
To laughing with me not a word for reply	B
You see it is Sfere our time for dejection	A
And can a Jew laugh when the rule is to cry	B
	-
You laughed then you say 'tis a sound to affright one	A
In Jewish delight what is worthy the name	C
The laugh of a Jew It is never a right one	A
For laughing and groaning with him are the same	C
	-
You thought there was zest in a Jewish existence	D
You deemd that the star of a Jew could be kind	E
The Spring calls and beckons with gracious insistence	D
Jew sit down in sackcloth and weep yourself blind	E
	-
The garden is green and the woodland rejoices	D
How cool are the breezes with fragrance how blent	E
But Spring calls not you with her thousand sweet voices	D
With you it is Sfere sit still and lament	E
	-
The beautiful summer this life's consolation	A
In moaning and sighing glides quickly away	F
What hope can it offer to one of my nation	A
What joy can he find in the splendors of May	F
	-
Bewildered and homeless of whom whoso passes	D
May fearlessly stop to make sport at his ease	D
Say is it for him to seek flowers and grasses	D
For him to be thinking on meadows and trees	D
	-
And if for a moment forgetting to ponder	G
On grief and oppression song breaks out anew	A
I hear in his lay only Wander and wander	G
And ev'ry note tells me the singer's a Jew	A
	-
A skilful musician and one who is versed	E
In metre and measure whenever he hears	D
The pitiful song of the Jewish dispersed	E
It touches his heart and it moves him to tears	D
	-
The blast of the Ram's horn that quavers and trembles	D
On this now alone Jewish fancy is bent	E
To grief and contrition its host it assembles	D
And causes the stoniest heart to relent	E
	-
The wail that went up when the Temple was shattered	E
The song of Atonement the Suppliant's psalm	H
These only he loves since they took him and scattered	E
Away from the land of the balsam and balm	I
	-
Of all the sweet instruments shiver'd and broken	A
That once in the Temple delighted his ear	J
The Ram's horn alone has he kept as a token	A
And sobs out his soul on it once in the year	K
	-
Instead of the harp and the viol and cymbal	L
Instead of the lyre the guitar and the flute	E
He has but the dry wither'd Ram's horn the symbol	L
Of gloom and despondence the rest all are mute	E
	-
He laughs or he breaks into song but soon after	G
Tho' fain would he take in man's gladness a part	E
One hears low resounding athwart the gay laughter	G
The Suppliant's psalm and it pierces the heart	E
	-
I asked of my Muse had she any objection	A
To laughing with me not a word for reply	B
You see it is Sfere our time for dejection	A
And can a Jew laugh when the rule is to cry	B
