translation

[Lori Cahan-Simon <l_cahan...>]

Hi all,

I'm translating a Yehoash poem, "The Tree's New Year" and have come
across a phrase that I need help with.

    Mit a shney badekt der vald iz,
    Vayse rosheshone-kleyder.
    Un der himl hot tsum yontef
    Oysgelaytert zikh fun volkn.

    Un di zun fun loyter simkhe
    Putst di vays bashneyte tsvaygn,
    Tut zey on takhshitin--shtraln
    Un bashpritst zey mit diamantn.

I give you the preceding stanza for clarity, so in the second stanza I
reprint here, what does the third line mean?

A dank in foroys,
Lorele
