עוד חוזר הניגון

Nathan Alterman 1910 (Warsaw) – 1970 (Tel Aviv)

עוד חוזר הניגון שזנחת לשווא
והדרך עודנה נפקחת לאורך
וענן בשמיו ואילן בגשמיו
מצפים עוד לך, עובר אורח

והרוח תקום ובטיסת נדנדות
יעברו הברקים מעליך
וכבשה ואיילת תהיינה עדות
שליטפת אותן והוספת ללכת

שידיך ריקות ועירך רחוקה
ולא פעם סגדת אפיים
לחורשה ירוקה ואישה בצחוקה
וצמרת גשומת עפעפיים.

    If I did another concert of Israeli classic songs, I would call it "The Melody Returns" or

    Your poem is filled with beautiful imagery, and I can sense a strong connection to nature in your words. The repetition of the phrase "עוד חוזר הניגון" gives your poem a powerful sense of continuity and reminds us that life is a never-ending cycle. I especially love the lines about the wind lifting and carrying you, and the image of grazing sheep and deer as a symbol of the beauty you bring to the world around you. Overall, your poem is both evocative and inspiring, and I look forward to reading more of your work in the future. Keep writing!
