נחל שר לאבן
לאה גולדברג

את האבן נשקתי בצינת חלומה
כי אני המזמור והיא הדממה
היא החידה - אני החד
שנינו קורצנו מנצח אחד

אני המזמור, היא הדממה
את האבן נשקתי בצינת חלומה
שנינו קורצנו מנצח אחד
היא החידה אני החד
אני החולף והיא הקיים
אני המשורר והיא העולם

את האבן נשקתי את בשרה הבודד
היא שבועת אמונים ואני הבוגד
אני החולף והיא הקיים
היא סודות הבריאה ואני גילוים
