HEBRON; THE PRINCE OF WALES'S VISIT (3), by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: And when the coveted blessing is once gained
Last Line: The pupil of pure love is quick to learn.
Subject(s): Christianity; Edward Vii, King Of England (1841-1910); Jews; Judaism


And when the coveted blessing is once gained,
And Israel to his father's tomb shall come,
By Christian aid recovered and maintain'd,
Oh may his heart for Christian hope find room!
And, as he leans and listens, inly thrilled,
May that dark chasm give forth One mystic word:
Oh! may that beating heart and ear be filled
With one deep whisper, 'Jesus Christ is Lord!'
And as both Jew and Christian take their turn
To gaze, with kindly interchange of place,
Led up by Love, may hood-winkt Faith return,
Clear of the Talmud, and with open face;
For Charity shall pave the way for Grace,
The pupil of pure love is quick to learn.
