“There Is a Tree That Stands”
By Itsik Manger
Read the poem, and then answer the questions.
There is a tree that stands
And bows beside the road.
All its birds have fled away,
Leaving not a bird.
The tree, abandoned to the storm,
Stands there all alone:
Three birds east, and three birds west—
The others south have flown.
To my mother then, I say,
“If you won’t meddle, please,
I’ll turn myself into a bird
Right before your eyes.
“All winter, I’ll sit on the tree
And sing him lullabies,
I’ll rock him and console him
With lovely melodies.”
Tearfully, my mother says,
“Don’t take any chances.
God forbid, up in the tree
You’ll freeze among the branches.”
“Mother, what a shame to spoil
Your eyes with tears,” I said,
Then, on the instant I transformed
Myself into a bird.
My mother cried, “Oh, Itsik, love …
In the name of God,
Take a little scarf with you
To keep from catching cold.
“And dear, put your galoshes on,
The winter’s cold and aching.
Be sure to wear your fleece-lined cap;
Woe’s me, my heart is breaking.
“And, pretty fool, be sure to take
Your woolen underwear
And put it on, unless you mean
To lie a corpse somewhere.”
I try to fly, but I can’t move …
Too many, many things
My mother’s piled on her weak bird
And loaded down my wings.
I look into my mother’s eyes
And, sadly, there I see
The love that won’t let me become
The bird I want to be.
