Ron L. Meyers, Editor

From Heart to Heart
Abraham Joshua Heschel

So short a distance - from heart to heart.
If I experience my self, my desires,
why not also you and yours?

Millions of eyes seek and fail to find one
another.
Each shuns the other, like hungry spiders.
Who does not carry in his breast love,
gratefulness to others?

Let me openly confess my longing for you!
And like a bridge spanning a thousand lands
which separate you from me,
let me, myself, lie down to reach you.

פוּן הארץ צוּ הארץ

אברהם יהוֹשע העשׁל

פוּן הארץ צוּ הארץ -- אזא קוּרצער מרחק.

אוֹיב זיך פיל אוּן פארלאנגען מיינע,

פארוואס נישט אוֹיך דיך אוּן דיינע?

מיליאנען אוֹיגן זוּכן אוּן קאנען נישט געפינען.

ס‘וויכט מענטשׁ פוּן מענטשׁ, ווי הוּנגעריקע

שפינען.

ווער טראגט דען נישׁט אין בוּזעם ליבשאפט,

דאנקבארקייט צוּ מענטשן?

לאמיך אפן מוֹדה זיין אין בענקשאפט נאך דיר!

אוּן ווי א בריק דוּרך טוֹיזנט לענדער,

וואס שיידן דיך פוּן מיר,

לאמיך לייגן זיך אליין אוּן צוּ דיר דערלאנגען.
