THE FATED RACE, by ANONYMOUS First Line: What! Still reject the fated race Last Line: Immanuel-was a jew Subject(s): Heroism;israel;jews;sacrifices; Heroes;heroines;judaism | |||
WHAT! still reject the fated race Thus long denied repose, What! madly striving to efface The rights that Heaven bestows! Say, flows not in each Jewish vein, Unchecked, without control, A tide as pure, as free from stain, As warms the Christian soul? Do ye not yet the times discern That these shall cease to roam; That Shiloh pledged for their return Will bring his ransomed home? Be error quick to darkness hurl'd! No more with hate pursue, For He who died to save a world— Immanuel—was a Jew. | 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.
