The 4th of Iyar is the Yahrtzeit of Rabbi Shlomo ibn Gabirol of Malaga, Spain. He died on April 21, 1021.
AT THE DAWN
At the dawn I seek You, Rock and refuge tried, In due service speak You Morn and eventide.
Beneath Your greatness shrinking, Stand I sore afraid, All my secret thinking Bare before You is laid.
Little to Your glory Heart or tongue can do; Small remains the story, Add we spirit too.
Yet since man’s praise ringing May seem good to You, I will praise You singing While Your breath’s in me.
