KUFSAT TZVA'IM
Haytah li kufsat tzva'im
zoharim, ne'imim vena'im,
haytah li kufsat tzva'im,
shebahem gam karim vegam chamim
Lo hayah adom shel dam hap'tzuim,
lo hayah li shachoar shel avelut yetomim,
lo hayah laval shel p'nei hametim,
lo hayah li tzahov shel cholot lohatim.
Hayah li katom shel simchat hachaim
hayah li yarok shel livluv ufrichah
hayah li t'chol shel shamaim behirim
hayah li varod shel chalom umenuchah.
Yashavti vetziyarti shalom.

PAINT BOX
I had you for a crayon box
Glowing, pleasant and fine,
I had you for a crayon box
Among which there are hot and cold ones too.
There was no red of the blood of the wounded,
I had no black of the mourning of orphans,
There was no white of the face of the dead,
I had no yellow of burning sands.
I had orange of life's joy
I had green of budding and blossom
I had blue of the bright sky
I had pink of a dream and rest.
I sat and I drew peace.
