Oh David star, David star
Why won't you glimmer bright,
Shimmering in the moonlight?
  Has the cloud fallen upon you?
Oh, why won't you show your lambent flame?
Is your last glimmer of hope crushed under the Nazi boot and now you have no name?
  Or have you gone afar,
To hide in the darkest night,
For you know the Nazis will surely try to fight.
   Where, oh where are you?
Shall I leave the candles burning all night?
Or shall I draw the curtains and leave your followers with David's light?
