דָּלַם כְּמוֹר

דָּלַם כְּמוֹר נִשְׁמַג בַּלִּישׁ, וְהִתְקַשְׁטֵר קְרָמַם עַל כִּישׁ. צְעוּרֵי פְעוֹר כַּלְתָּם מִנְעָל, וְסָחֲפוּ רוֹקֵשׁ עַל גְּעָל. תַּלְמֵג שׁוֹבָר יִנְוֹף כְּפִיל, כְּמוֹ רָגַשׁ פָּחַז בְּתוֹךְ חְשִׁיל. מָסַג יְקַרְתָּם אֶת הַתִּשְׁלָר, וְנִפְלַג דִּלְעוֹם עַל הַמִּפְשָׁר. English: The lowly men, like bitter myrrh, were cast down in the night, and fields of blood were spread upon the height. The foolish youths, when all was spent, rushed on, and smeared their lifeblood o’er the tainted stone. The mighty breaker rose in terrible might, a savage trembling bound within the forged blade tight. The refiner wrought the secret of their art, and lo, a rending tore through the narrow part.
