| | | HIS was another race than mine | |
| Another faith, from which mine sprung: | |
| He traced his lineage by another line, | |
| And gained his manhood in another tongue. | |
| |
| Yet when he sought our common sky, | 5 |
| And breathed the welcome of its air, | |
| His soul rose up, as eagles fly, | |
| To the full heights of manhood there. | |
| |
| Oh, Brother ours! whose life has beamed | |
| With faith in God, with love of man, | 10 |
| Through which thy patriot virtues streamed | |
| To bless and aid our noble land. | |
| |
| I stand to-day beside thy bier, | |
| To own thy brotherhood divine, | |
| And proudly claim with many a tear, | 15 |
| That Israel’s God is thine and mine. | | | | |
