THE JEWESS, by ALLAN DAVIS First Line: Her hair is winged with summer nights Last Line: The story of her race. Subject(s): Jews; Jews - Women; Judaism | |||
HER hair is winged with summer nights, Her brow is like the dawn, Her voice is like an olden song That memory lingers on, And all her movements are as soft And gentle as a fawn. A lovely mild, and winsome girl Of strange and Eastern grace— I thought, "How happy art thou, child In whom all gifts find place," Till deep within her eyes I saw The story of her race. | 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.
