Said the father to his children <br /> At the seder you will dine <br /> You will eat your fill of matzah<br /> You will drink four cups of wine. <br /> <br /> 2. Now this father had no daughters <br /> But his sons, they numbered four <br /> One was wise and one was wicked <br /> One was simple and a bore. <br /> <br /> 3. And the fourth was sweet and winsome <br /> He was young and he was small <br /> While his brothers asked the questions <br /> He could scarcely speak at all. <br /> <br /> 4. Said the wise son to his father <br /> \"Would you please explain the laws <br /> Or the customs of the Seder <br /> Will you please explain the cause?\" <br /> <br /> 5. And the father proudly answered, <br /> \"As our fathers ate in speed, <br /> Ate the Paschal lamb 'ere midnight <br /> And from slavery were freed.\" <br /> <br /> 6. \"So we follow their example <br /> And 'ere midnight must complete <br /> All the Seder; and we should not <br /> After twelve remain to eat.\" <br /> <br /> 7. Then did sneer the son so wicked <br /> \"What does all this mean to you?\" <br /> And the father's voice was bitter <br /> As his grief and anger grew. <br /> <br /> 8. If yourself you don't consider <br /> As a son of Israel <br /> Then for you this has no meaning <br /> You could be a slave as well.\" <br /> <br /> 9. Then the simple son said softly, <br /> \"What is this?\" and quietly <br /> The good father told his offspring <br /> \"We were freed from slavery.\" <br /> <br /> 10. But the youngest son was silent <br /> For he could not ask at all. <br /> And his eyes were bright with wonder <br /> As his father told him all. <br /> <br /> 11. Now dear children, heed the lesson <br /> And remember ever more <br /> What the father told his children <br /> Told his sons who numbered four.</p>", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "unclear", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Songs", "slug": "songs" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 296, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Four Children | Passover haggadah by Rebecca Ennen", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.
