THE JEWESS by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: A MOTHER SHE IN ISRAEL
Last Line: OF EDEN AND GETHSEMANE.
Subject(s): JEWS - WOMEN;
A mother she in Israel,
With eyes, like Jacob's well,
Untouched by time -- their tender grace,
As from the Temple's inmost place,
Telling the twofold mystery
Of Eden and Gethsemane.
