JEWS, by                    
First Line: Pride and humiliation hand in hand
Last Line: They saw reflected in the coming time
Subject(s): Jews;memory;tradition; Judaism


PRIDE and humiliation hand in hand
Walked with them through the world where'er they went,
Trampled and beaten were as the sand,
And yet as unshaken as the continent.

For in the background, figures vague and vast,
Of patriarchs and of prophets rose sublime,
And all the great traditions of the past
They saw reflected in the coming time.
