I have seen Yiddish words - Moyshe Kulbak

I have seen Yiddish words like small flames, like small flames,
like sparks, risen from dark ore.
I have felt Yiddish words like white doves, like white doves.
The doves coo and coo in my heart.

Moyshe Kulbak (1896  – 1937) Belarus
Translated by Daniel Kraft
