Poem by Hanah Senesch

Blessed is the match consumed in kindling flame.

,אַשְׁרֵיהַגַּפְרוּרשֶׁנִּשְׂרַףוְהִצִּיתלֶהָבוֹת

Blessed is the flame that burns in the secret fastness of the heart .אַשְׁרֵיהַלְּהָבָהשֶׁבָּעֲרָהבְּסִתְרֵילְבָבוֹת

Blessed is the heart with strength to stop its beating for honor's sake.

...אַשְׁרֵיהַלְבָבוֹתשֶׁיָדְעוּלַחְדוֹלבְּכָבוֹד

Blessed is the match consumed in kindling flame.

.אַשְׁרֵיהַגַּפְרוּרשֶׁנִּשְׂרַףוְהִצִּיתלֶהָבוֹת
