Once before sunrise,
1st of October to be precise,
Joy filled the sky
when a baby did cry
oh it is a baby girl!
the midwife hastened to tell
mum faintly said it is well
as she beheld her pearl
When a baby first cries
the pain of travail flies
far away for all we care
sure we do not pay its fare.
Always cherish the woman
who from your day of birth
named you Jewish Woman
since you brought her mirth.
Happy Birthday my niece, my twin.
