Re: The golden sheafs

[SamWeiss <SamWeiss...>]

That song is "Blond bistu vi a zangl".  It has 'sheaf' ("zangl") but no 
'golden' -- lots of other colors though.  "Shtangen" ('poles') does appear 
in the last line, and that sounds like "dangen", so maybe it's the song in 
question.  It's a simple love song by Hirsh Glik.
