drink water

 "Zol shoyn kumen di geule"

 "When you're feeling low, take a little drink! If sorrow persists, then let's sing a song. If there is no whiskey, we can drink water. Fresh water is life itself, and what more does a Jew need?"

you are disappointed

IV

You looked for a flower

and found a fruit.

You looked for a well

and found a sea.

You looked for a woman

and found a soul -  

you are disappointed.

Edith Södergran, 1916
