Embrace Me, Dawn

Embrace Me, Dawn

Mordechai Bartana (Bartnisky), born in Pabradė

Embrace me, dawn, and kiss my eyes,and whisper: it was only a dream of delusion.The serpent that struck at the heel never was, was never made.Eden is still all around, blessed gardens of delight,and trees of life for all.And tomorrow no flood, no tower, no murder,only a sky-blue dayand everlasting peace.
