PIYUT: A GREAT MUSIC by ANONYMOUS

First Line: AH PEOPLE DO DO SHAKE OFF DUST DO RISE DO
Last Line: CLOSE WITH YOUR ENEMIES SMOKED OUT BURNT OFF LIKE DEW
Subject(s): JEWS;MYSTICISM - JUDAISM; JUDAISM;

Ah people do do shake off dust do rise do
Go to Jerusalem see she is praised do
Ride over flagstones break through new roads do
Eat curds eat honey eat up whole rivers do
Add to your stores by their riversides do
Take do plunder the Goyim's prize do
Meet the rays from Shekinah's face do
Use up inherit Jerusalem's fields do
See sun & moon shine their lights do
Illumine with music do sing your songs do
Close with your enemies smoked out burnt off like dew
