Joseph Friedlander, comp. The Standard Book of Jewish Verse. 1917.

By Menahem Ben Jacob

The Harvesting of the Roses

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.
