(excerpt)
that sprouted out of my step
the herb that redeems
which flowered in my life
and sprouted in the desert
the herb of resurrection!
When the time comes
that will spread from the desert
to the ever-crowded city
that the people will rejoice
cutting its victorious thorns
smelling its auspicious fragrance
when will that time come?
Oh, the superb fresh fragrance
the loud cry of victory
after the years of slavery
and years of incarceration!
On the day when man
will bring from the abyss
new virginal roses
like newly created corals
