LIKE UNTO SHARON'S ROSES by ISRAEL GOLDBERG

First Line: MY DARLING, YOUR GRACE
Last Line: AND RAISE ME FROM DOUBTING AND FAILING.
Subject(s): FLOWERS; JEWS; JEWS - WOMEN; ROSES; JUDAISM;
MY darling, your grace
And the bloom of your face
Are sweet as of Sharon the roses, ...
And a radiance rare
Illumines your hair
As verdure where moonlight reposes;
And your cadence is low
As Jordan's still flow
When twilight day's revelry closes.

My darling, your blush
Is like morning's full flush
When over Mount Hermon he's scaling,
And the dream in your eye
Is like Galilee's sky
When only one cloudlet is sailing,
And the lure of your smile
My sadness beguile
And raise me from doubting and failing.
