Rivkele the Sabbath Widow (Without Shabbath)
Rivkele without Sabbath is working in the factory,Twisting threads together, fashioning a length of rope.
Alas the somber ghetto lasts too long
And, with a heavy heart, I feel so sorry for her lot.
Her devoted Herszele is gone, is no longer,
Since that Saturday, since that hour.
Rivkele is in mourning, crying day and night,
And now she sits at her spinning wheel, bemused in deep thought.
Where is my loved one? Is he alive somewhere?
Perhaps in a concentration camp, he works hard without rest.
How bleak it must be for him there
