Do these tears know who made them fall? <br />Do these hearts know who made them recoil? <br />They recoiled when their shining light sank into the earth, <br />and the clods of earth knew not what they hold. <br />They hold a princely man, <br />a good man, blameless, upright, <br />a God-fearing man, discreet and wise. <br /> <br />translated by T. Carmi<br /><br />Yehudah HaLevi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/do-these-tears-know/
