I like this!

My attempt at Yiddish follows, first in the Yiddish alphabet, then in
YIVO romanisation, then in a more traditional German-based spelling,
and finally in Cyrillic:

פּיװאָניע טרױער
איך טרױער בײַ די רױטן פּיװאָניען בײַ דען שטאַפּלען.
הײַנט אָװנט געװען עס נאָר נאָך צװײ.
בלאָזט דער מאָרגן װינט, איז עס אױך מיט זײ פֿאַרבײַ.
בײַ לאַנטערנען ליכט באַװוּנדער איך הײַנט נאַכט דאָס לעצטע רױט. ‬

Pivonye troyer
Ikh troyer bay di roytn pivonyen bay den shtaplen.
Haynt ovnt geven es nor nokh tsvey.
Blozt der morgn vint, iz es oykh mit zey farbay.
Bay lanternen likht bavunder ikh haynt nakt dos letste royt.

Piwonie träuer
Ich träuer bei die räuten Piwonien bei den Staplen.
Heint Owent gewen es nor noch tzweh.
Blozt der Morgenwint, is es äuch mit seh farbei.
Bei Laternenlicht bawunder ich heint Nacht dos letzte Räut.

Пивоне тройер
Их тройер бай ди ройтн пивонен бай ден штаплен.
Хайнт овнт гевен ес нор нох цвей.
Блозт дер моргн винт, из ес ойх мит зей фарбай.

"pivonye" is my guess of the translation for "peony".

> >>PFINGSTROSENTRAUER
> >>Ich trauere um die roten Pfingstrosen bei den Stufen.
> >>Heute Abend waren es nur noch zwei.
> >>Weht der Morgenwind, ist es auch mit ihnen vorbei.
> >>Bei Laternenlicht bewundere ich heute Nacht das letzte Rot.

> >>PEONY LAMENT

> >>There were only two of them left tonight.
> >>Come the morning breeze, they, too, will be gone.
> >>By a lantern's light will I admire the last red in the night.

Hi, Mark!

> I like this!

I had a hunch you might.  ;-)  I have ways of enticing folks.

Zeyer sheyn host du dos geshribn!  Since we are a semi-official Yiddish 
translator team already, I hope you don't mind a teensy bit of suggested 
tweak action on my part:

  פּיװאָניעס־טרױער
  .איך טרױער נאָך די רױטן פּיװאָניעס בײַ דעם טרעפּל
  . הײַנט אָװנט זענען געװען נאָר נאָך צװײ
  .  בלאָזט דער מאָרגנװינט, איז עס פֿאַרבײַ אױכעט מיט זײ
  .בײַם ליכט פון א לאמטערן װעל איך הײַנט בײַ נאכט דאָס לעטסטע רױט באװונדערן

  PIVONIES-TROYER
  Ikh troyer far di roytn pivonies bay dem trepl.
  Haynt ovnt zenen geven nor nokh tsvey.
  Blozt der morgnvint, iz es farbay oykhet mit zey.
  Baym likht fun a lamtern vel ikh haynt bay nakht dos letste royt 
bavundern.

I wonder if I have enough enticing power at the Scots end of things.

  SPAINYIE ROSE MANIN
  A'm manin fer the reid Spainyie roses by the staps.
  Thar's only twa o thaim left this een,
  An they'll be sauntin with the wee-oors' sough.
  The nicht A'll be leukin at thaim, fairlyin, by the licht o a laump.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
