Original wraps. 4to. 4 pages. 30 cm. Second edition. Words in romanized Yiddish; full text in Yiddish on p. [4]. Front portrait of Bialik. Yiddish song by the famous poet Bialik. First published 1916. “Bialik composed his sea poems ('Yam lider') in Yiddish in 1908 and published them in a Zionist-oriented anthology just before his first visit to Eretz Yisrael in 1909. The small cycle of three pseudo-naive poems was defined by the poet as a translation from the prominent medieval poet Rabbi Yehuda Halevi. However, this cycle of poems is, in fact, a free adaptation of diverse motifs from Halevi, imbued with contemporary colours and revealing Bialik's intimate secrets. … Bialik wrote these Zionist poems ('Yam lider') in the language of the Jewish masses, telling his ideological adversaries in an indirect and subtle way that if he turns to the writing of poems in Yiddish, it is merely for ideological purposes, and not because he agrees with their credo. Indeed, the role of these poems in many Zionist circles has been long acknowledged. ” (Khulyot; Journal of Yiddish Research; No. 8 Winter 2003) . Subjects: Songs, Yiddish -- United States.
