“When birth pangs signaled it was time to be born,Ephraim was too stupid to come out of the womb.When the passage into life opened up,he didn’t show.Shall I intervene and pull them into life?Shall I snatch them from a certain death?Who is afraid of you, Death?Who cares about your threats, Tomb?In the end I’m abolishing regret,banishing sorrow,Even though Ephraim ran wild,the black sheep of the family.
