Di Grine Kuzine [The "Green" Cousin]

Tells of a naïve "cousin" who comes to America "beautiful as gold," who as the years pass here in the US, "becomes a wreck." In the last stanza, she replies to the narrator's inquiry, "Brennen zol Columbus' medina!" =Columbus' land [i.e., America] should burn [i.e., go to hell]! (I've also heard a version where her reply is "A kholileh af Columbus' medina!" = A curse upon America!)
