NOW dimly thro' our tears we see his Face, And treasure up his mem'ry in our hearts, He stood in front a model Priest and Man, Grand with a righteous energy for good, Resplendent with a love for all his kind; But most of all his great love for his Race. No work too hardno cause that wanted help, But he the foremost one in doing good. Honesty and Manliness and Truth, A trinity of virtues joined in him. Too soon for usbut not too soon for him Has he been taken into Rest and Life. For that perfection which he sought in us He now has found in Immortality. Dry up our tearsour God hath taken him; He knoweth best. And when we go to rest May it be found his bright example made Us worthy of joining him on High. | 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.
