Yiddish Notebook – Smolar
For Third Grade
Thoughts Are Free
My thoughts are free
they cannot be captured!
They just flutter by
like quiet new dawns
for no one can deface them
deny or erase them
You know it’s not new
You know this is true.
I think what I like
What makes me feel pleasure
My thoughts come and go
They’re my quiet treasure.
And no one can know them
Imprison or own them
No one can deny
Di Gedanken zint fray.
