corners wide.

crowded side by side. -

.
Remember! The Wise is one
who never stops
To ask in humbleness of wrong
and right.
Wise man knows but
searches on„
Renews his faith in every Seder
night.
The
The Evil man is he who claims:
"The - world belongs to those
with might.
"The servant, slave deserves • his
fate,
His sorrow, pain through dark-
est night."
The third • one never asks nor
dares
To question in his timid simple
way.
if he would know the power of
his tongue,
He would not blunder, go
astray.
To be or not, in this eternal
fight,
'Emerges he victorious—who is
a fool.
The last among the sons is
faultless, dumb.
The fool is flawless as a rule.
-
Thus opens the eternal book
Haggadah.
The scene is timeless—heavenly
unfurld.
Four sons like visionary men of
