GOD healed him while he slept, And took His shepherd home, And many thousand tender hands Now bear him to the tomb. His life was crowded with the deeds Which crown his calm repose, Upon his gleaming coat of arms, No guilty glory glows. Dream on, O Prince in Israel, dream, In thy celestial home, While many thousand loyal friends Chant Kaddish at the tomb. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WASHING-DAY by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD BATTLE OF BRITAIN by CECIL DAY LEWIS THE WOMEN WITH FABLED HAIR by MADELINE DEFREES AGAINST THE REST OF THE YEAR by JAMES GALVIN THE STORY OF THE END OF THE STORY by JAMES GALVIN THE MAN TO BE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON DOWN BY THE CARIB SEA: 1.
