| | | FOR, if we be not of the lost Ten Tribes, | |
| At least we have procured them harbourage— | |
| A shelter from the flouts, the sneers, the gibes | |
| Of malice that befits not this fair age!— | |
| Turn where you will, each blood-stained, guilty page, | 5 |
| The foreign hatred ever doth abide, | |
| The Jew is menaced still from every side. | |
| |
| Are there not signs that still God loveth them?— | |
| Whate’er they touch turns golden in their hands, | |
| And stone by stone the new Jerusalem | 10 |
| Is rising ’mid the waste of other lands, | |
| For as their Wealth, so too their Power expands— | |
| From East to West the sky is all aflame | |
| With dawning greatness of the Jewish name! | | | | |
