yidisher shtolts

royshn veln, varfn zikh
bay a breg fun yam,
derbay ligt a feldz gor shtark
farzunken in zayn shtam.

yogn veln, varfn zikh
oyfn shtarkn feldz,
nor der feldz rirt zikh nit,
in zikh shteyt er shtolts.

vi der feldz azoy bistu
yidisher shtolts;
bay yedn yam-breg shteystu
in dayn feldzn-kraft.

un megn vi di veln,
vilde felker oyf dir zikh varfn,
vestu dayn shtolts nit boygn,
khotsh dayn harts vet in dir klogn.
