DEAR brother, brave and battle-scarred and bold, Whose kindling zeal my chastened spirit drew, And marshals now a myriad retinue To pave a path of safety for the Jew— In striving youthful and in service old, Alert, unresting, dominant and proud, Forgetting not the fealty you vowed In common with the Fathers, at the Mount, Where God revealed His Covenant in flame— Yours is a great, imperishable name! Who else an equal heritage can claim, Or render such illustrious account! And yet instead of coveting, we plead A portion of your spirit for our need. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WAR THAT ISN'T WHAT YOU THINK by JAMES GALVIN GETHSEMANE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE NIGHT MOTHS by EDWIN MARKHAM SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: JUDGE SELAH LIVELY by EDGAR LEE MASTERS SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: MRS.
