PIYUT: A GREAT MUSIC, by ANONYMOUS First Line: Ah people do do shake off dust do rise do Last Line: Close with your enemies smoked out burnt off like dew Subject(s): Jews;mysticism - Judaism; Judaism | ||||||||
Ah people do do shake off dust do rise do Go to Jerusalem see she is praised do Ride over flagstones break through new roads do Eat curds eat honey eat up whole rivers do Add to your stores by their riversides do Take do plunder the Goyim's prize do Meet the rays from Shekinah's face do Use up inherit Jerusalem's fields do See sun & moon shine their lights do Illumine with music do sing your songs do Close with your enemies smoked out burnt off like dew Used with the permission of Copper Canyon Press, P.O.
