THE TWELVE MONTHS
12 MOONS
In Tishrei the palm tree gave
a cute dark brown fruit.
in Cheshvan the first rain fell
and danced on my roof.
In Kislev a narcissus appeared
in Tevet - hail,
and in Shevat the sun broke through
for one day.
In Adar a fragrance rose
from the orchards.
In Nisan all the sickles
were strongly wielded.
In Iyar - everything grew,
in Sivan - ripening.
In Tamuz & Av we rejoiced
after the harvest.
Tishrei, Cheshvan, Kislev, Tevet,
passed, went by in a rush.
Also Shevat, Adar, Nisan, Iyar,
Sivan, Tamuz and Av.
And in the coming of Elul to us
the fragrance of autumn rose,
and we began our song
from the beginning.
