THE PERSECUTED JEW, by STEPHEN TAYLOR DEKINS First Line: When strife is rampant in the world Last Line: And lead them to the golden gate. Subject(s): Jews; Jews - Persecution; Judaism | |||
WHEN strife is rampant in the world, And men and devils loudly cheer; The hearts of men have turned to stone, And cruel monsters, laugh and sneer. In sorrow and the darkest gloom, Our brother Jew has suffered long; The God of Israel knows His own, He their King is great and strong. Defend the people, God of hosts, Thou God of Israel, grand and great; Look down and bless that noble race, And lead them to the golden gate. | 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.
