The people . . .

Two, three, four,

Five little minyans

Of little, little Jews . . .

Wasted,

Withered

Little Jews . . .

Humpbacked they come

To knock at the Rebbe’s door . . .

Frozen little souls,

Little hearts,

They come to stretch their hands

To the eternal flame:

Give us a spark! A spark!

A trickle of alms,

A little miracle,

A sign, a wink from the beyond . . .

And each is for himself

For his wife, his child,

His household only. . . . (Pause)

And here, between death and life,

A world hangs in doubt!
