מַסָּדָה נָשָׂאת גַּאוֹן, מְגַדֵּל עַל הַמִּדְבָּר,
סֵפֶר צָרוֹתֵיהֶן מְרוֹרֵר, רֶשֶׁף מִכַּתֵּף הַזִּכְרוֹן,
דַּמְעוֹת הַנַּעַר וְהַזְּקֵן, נֹפְלוֹת כַּמַּיִם מֵעֵינוֹן,
הַיִּשְׂרְאֵלִי חוֹזֵק, אֵינוֹ פֹּחֵד מִפְּנֵי הָאוֹיֵב.
נִקְשֵׁי הַגּוֹרָל קָשֶׁים, כֵּן, אֲבָל הָאֱמוּנָה גְּדוֹלָה,
הַמָּוֶת לֹא תָּמִיד מְפַחֵד, פַּחַד מִן הַשִּׁפְלוּת יוֹתֵר.
מֵאָז וּמֵעוֹלָם הִז
