OH, that death should lay thee low, With thy fame not zenith high! Ah, the pity that the foe Should have thought thee ripe to die! Like the greatest one of old Moses, strong of heart and hand Thou hast led thy wandering fold Onward to the promised land. Stranger to thy creed and race, Alien to the older Word, Yet I loved thee! On thy face Shone the glory of the Lord. | 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.
