David Vogel (1891-1944)
Translated by Robert Friend
On autumn nights…
On autumn nights
a leaf falls in the woods unseen,
lies silently on the ground.
A fish leaps from thewaters
of a stream,
and in the dark
a flapping wetness echoes.
In the black distance aresown
hoofbeats of horses unseen,
dissolving.
All this
the weary wanderer hears
and trembles in his bones.
From Foundin Translation: Modern Hebrew Poets, a Bilingual Edition
Selected and with an Introduction by GabrielLevin.
