ZIONISM, by HERBERT N. CARSON First Line: The story that herzl told was true Last Line: For the dream of the strong comes true. Subject(s): Flags; Israel; Jews; Nations; Zionism; Judaism | ||||||||
THE story that Herzl told was true Too bitter true for tears; The blood-marked trail of the homeless Jew Winds back two thousand years. Walled out by hate from the Gentile's heart, And lashed by senseless lies, The Jew has walked in the nigh-apart, And shunned his brother's eyes. But nowat lasthe stands erect, Nor fears to be alone; No Czarno kingno churchno sect, Can keep him from his own. His flag shall fly where his fathers fought In the homeland of the Jew; One race! One flag! One nation! Why not? For the dream of the strong comes true. | Other Poems of Interest...VENETIAN INTERIOR, 1889 by RICHARD HOWARD 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.
