Bein Kirot Beiti (Within My Walls)

Here within my walls

Everything is shut

And no one will intrude

Faced with my silent walls, not a whisper will enter

Within the borders of my home

No obstacle lies

Within the room's many paths

No sun will burn

And no shadow will dim

And no storm will gush

And no rain will wash

And no small opening will frighten

And not a thing can burn my walls

For everything is protected

From any menace at the gate

Within my walls

There is no one who will leave

Here within my walls

Silence lurks

Grey and comforting

Against the threatening street

Is a drawn curtain and candlelight

Here within my walls there is a memory,

A letter under the door

And not a voice to cry

And not a soul to answer

And no pain will remain

For my walls are a comforting white

And there are no stains of blood

Or bruises

Or tears of the heart

Of course all is foretold - you know

Within the walls no flower

Will wilt before its time
