THE HARVESTING OF THE ROSES by MENAHEM IBN SARUK

First Line: FROM HIS GARDEN BED OUR LORD
Last Line: THEY WERE IN DEATH TO HIM RESTORED.
Subject(s): DEATH; FLOWERS; JEWS; ROSES; DEAD, THE; JUDAISM;
FROM his garden bed our Lord
Blossoms for his pleasure chose,
Who came to gather many a rose.
Nobles waited for his word;
Amidst the rage of murderous blows
They were in death to him restored.
