ZION, we love thee well, Fair land of Israel, For thee we long! Thou art our heart's desire, Our altar's holy fire, The breath that stirs our lyre, To Freedom's song! Land which the Jordan laves, Land of the sacred graves, For thee we weep! Land where the Prophets trod, Where Truth erst swayed the rod, Where Psalmists sang of God, Thy faith we keep! Thy dawn now fills our eyes, Thy hope now tints our skies Our soul's athrill! A shoot from Jesse's stem, Shall rule Jerusalem, Bright be his diadem, O'er Zion's hill! | 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.
