PATRIOTISM by ANONYMOUS

First Line: TO EACH HIS COUNTRY DEARER FAR
Last Line: FOR POVERTY IN CANAAN'S LAND
Subject(s): JEWS;PATRIOTISM; JUDAISM;
TO each his country dearer far
Than the throne of Solomon;
Thorns from home, too, dearer are
Than myrtle or than cinnamon.
Joseph, in the pride of State,
Ruling over Egypt's strand
Sighed, and would have changed his fate.
For poverty in Canaan's Land.
