Dividing Wall
|
Dividing wall that cuts asunder
Bonds of blood which
Neither land nor water sever,
O cruel wall that separates me
From my own and they from me;
You have no purpose
(But to keep fear alive).
Thus, you separate us—
How strong you are! to conquer
The thickest of bloods.
Dividing wall, shall you not permit me
To see my only counterpart?
