CHANUKAH IN RUSSIA, 1905, by E. L. LEVETUS First Line: Set high the light where all may see Last Line: That like our sires we shall be free. Subject(s): Fasts & Feasts; Hanukkah; Holocaust, Jewish - Liberation; Jews; Judaism | ||||||||
SET high the light where all may see The flame that since two thousand years Has burnednow dim with misery. A light of mourning it appears; Stand firm! still flows the cruse divine, Our star with dazzling ray shall shine. Raise up the flag! Our doubting hearts Too long have kept it closely furled; Meekness and fear have played their parts, Valour alone can tame the world And show, in might of unity, That like our sires we shall be free. | 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.
