[the swing song]
Nad, ned, nad, ned,
Go down, and go up, go up and go down!
what’s up?
what’s down
Only me,
me and you;
We are both balanced on the scales
Between the earth and the sky.

in the garden bed
around the barrel
They were going to dance
Cabbage with cauliflower.

I have a garden and I have a well
And on my well hangs a bucket
Every Saturday my darling comes,
He will drink righteous water from my pitcher,
The whole world is sleeping, quiet!
An apple and a pear are also:
My mother fell asleep, my father fell asleep
Only I and my heart are awake.

come out, my sister bride,
come out, come out -
In the spring news I brought you:
from behind a garden fence
see bud, see bud,
The sound of the sparrow is heard on my house.
God’s grace passed in Israel
On a wing of light, on a wing of light
And in the factions, poetry fell:
Spring is coming! Spring is coming!
the trees bloomed in the garden,
The cherry turned white.

butterfly, butterfly,
live flower,
Come down please, quickly
sit on me

Gan Bialik In 1925, during the lottery of the lots between the founders of the "Neighborhood of Teachers and Writers" Beit HaKram, the association’s board assigned the corner lot at the top of the hill - next Shelly and Dvir families - to Chaim Nachman Bialik and his wife Mania.
The national poet designated the place for a summer house, but its construction was delayed. That is why Bialik planted in 1928a large pine grove on his plot, which grew over the years into a thick and rocky grove.
Every summer, Bialik’s family would come from Tel Aviv to Beit HaKerem and live nearby, but she did not get to build her own house.
After Bialik’s death, only the pine grove he planted remained.
The Foundation for Jerusalem and the Municipality of Jerusalem surrounded the wooded area with a playground and a public garden, which are surrounded by dozens of pine trees from those planted by the national poet.
In 2021, the municipality upgraded the garden and preserved its character, including the old trees
