And when the coveted blessing is once gained, And Israel to his father's tomb shall come, By Christian aid recovered and maintain'd, Oh may his heart for Christian hope find room! And, as he leans and listens, inly thrilled, May that dark chasm give forth One mystic word: Oh! may that beating heart and ear be filled With one deep whisper, 'Jesus Christ is Lord!' And as both Jew and Christian take their turn To gaze, with kindly interchange of place, Led up by Love, may hood-winkt Faith return, Clear of the Talmud, and with open face; For Charity shall pave the way for Grace, The pupil of pure love is quick to learn. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DREAMS OLD AND NASCENT: NASCENT by DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE OZYMANDIAS by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY UNFULFILLMENT by FRANCES LOUISA BUSHNELL EPILOGUE: HURLO-THRUMBO; A PLAY BY SAMUEL JOHNSON by JOHN BYROM TO RALPH LEYCESTER, ESQ.
