A Song for the Eve of Sabbath
Yehuda Amichai
Will you come to me tonight?
Laundry that has already dried in the yard
A war that was never enough
It is now somewhere else
And roads are constantly returning
Alone as a horse without its rider
And the house closes in the evening
About its good and evil
And we knew well that the border
Is close and we're not allowed there
My father prayed and could

The army and the land darkened
Soon the light will go out
The commandment in which Heaven began
Again the two have to end
