| Joseph Friedlander, comp. The Standard Book of Jewish Verse. 1917. | | | | Zionism | | By Joseph Leiser |
| | | THE DREAMERS are not dead in Israel. | |
| To-day the young dream dreams, and with the old | |
| Live visions of a deathless past. They dwell | |
| In every land, yet hills of Zion hold | |
| More glory than the fame of kings can bring; | 5 |
| More hope than ages have preserved. | |
| The voices of a golden morning ring | |
| With victories, extolling gifts reserved | |
| For those who ’neath the vine and fig tree sit, | |
| And people realms bereft of ancient charms. | 10 |
| The souls of prophets with their souls are knit, | |
| And martyred heroes call again to arms | |
| The sons of Judah. Stars of morning shine, | |
| And dawn breaks o’er an orphaned Palestine. | | | | |
