The Silver Tray
And the earth will rest, [under a] reddened eye of the sky
the smoke in the border slowly will fade
and a nation will stand - with a broken heart but breathing
to receive the one miracle; there is no second one
She [is due] to a graduation [0] ceremony. She will rise in front of the moon,
and stood [1] in front of them wrapped in festivity and fear
Then from the opposite [side] will come out a young woman and a young man
and slowly, slowly they will march across in front of the nation
She will wear non-festive clothes and festive also, and heavy boots
In the trails will they rise, walking in gait and silent
The footprints of the day - the harshness of the night journey - the fire
Tired to no end, hermits from relaxation
and drippling dew, young hebrews
Both will approach [in the] blood, and they will stand without moving
and there is no sign if they are alive or shot [dead]
So the nation will ask, soaked in tears and magic
and will say: Who are they? Who are they?
and both, calm, will answer her:
We are the silver platter
on which the Jewish State was given to you
So they will say, and will fall to her feet, wrapped in shadows
and the rest will be told in the story of Israel
