          <text>טַל תֵּן לִרְצוֹת אַרְצָךְ Dew – Grant it to favor Your land: The six verses of the poem begin and end with the word “Dew,” and the whole is constructed as a reverse alphabetical acrostic, the last two letters (bet and aleph) each being allocated two lines. (Note that in such piyutim, the letters sin and samekh are interchangeable.) The poem deftly intertwines the themes of nature (spring, renewal) and history (asking God to bring His people back from the winter of exile to a spring of national renewal). כַּנָּה To the stock: the root or stem</text>

The word “shade” (meaning both cloud and divine protection) may also be an allusion to the bridal canopy. Thus Kalir, through complex verbal resonances, strikes a mood of joy as if spring were the wedding of heaven and earth.</text>

Just as at the end of time God will revive the dead (“those buried in the clefts of the rocks”), so does dew now revive the earth and make it green again.</text>
