LINES ON CARMEN SYLVA, by EMMA LAZARUS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Trembling old men are stamm'ring Last Line: An ode to humanity. Subject(s): Courts & Courtiers; Exiles; Humanity; Jews; Royal Court Life; Royalty; Kings; Queens; Judaism | |||
TREMBLING old men are stamm'ring Scarce can their anguish tell— Whisp'ring the ancient Hebrew, The "Hear, O Israel!" Some little Jew is falling, Clubbed in his narrow pale— The Queen is singing sweetly Songs of the Nightingale. Watchmen are growing fretful, Why should they longer wait? Hurry the homeless wanderers Through the next dark suffering-gate. What though anchors are lifted, What though poor exiles flee— Carmen Sylva is warbling An Ode to Humanity. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE RABBI'S SON-IN-LAW by SABINE BARING-GOULD A LITTLE HISTORY by DAVID LEHMAN FOR I WILL CONSIDER YOUR DOG MOLLY by DAVID LEHMAN JEWISH GRAVEYARDS, ITALY by PHILIP LEVINE NATIONAL THOUGHTS by YEHUDA AMICHAI SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#3): 2.
