First Line: The rose is hid by prickly thorn
Last Line: And joy is found in sorrow's train.
Subject(s): Hope; Jews; Optimism; Judaism


THE rose is hid by prickly thorn,
Behind each night there lurks a morn,
Amidst most threat'ning sombre skies
The many colored rainbow lies.
No night was e'er so hopeless black
That it at least one star did lack;
So pleasure lies conceal'd midst pain
And joy is found in sorrow's train.
