Not many summers ago
I saw a beautiful Jewess
With raven hair and raven eyes
Weeping by a wooden fence
I enquired about the source
And saw that she was loosely shackled
She told me that her husband had trapped her
As he was jealous of her considerable beauty
And did not want her to breathe or simply stray
I said that no man has the right to possess such beauty
And ripped the low fence post from the ground
Journey of the Magi (Fragment)
He was resting in his soft crib
Covered only by a shepherds cloth
Nearby at the eastern railway station
Three men could be seen studying the stars
As they began their journey through the pilgrims city
