| Joseph Friedlander, comp. The Standard Book of Jewish Verse. 1917. | | | | Leo N. Levi | | By George Alexander Kohut |
| | | LET no lament break forth but rather sing | |
| Hosannas to the Everlasting King; | |
| Let Hallelujahs everywhere resound | |
| And animate the newly hallowed ground | |
| Where lovingly a garland we may place | 5 |
| To symbolize the homage of his race. | |
| No wringing hands, nor shrill-voiced grief shall lift | |
| Our hero from his consecrated crypt;— | |
| If ye would truly honor him, who bore | |
| The ensign of the fathers to the fore, | 10 |
| Then follow on, and raise the battle-flag, | |
| And hasten on each footstep that would lag. | |
| Unfold forsooth the ancient standard, and | |
| Obey our leader’s clarion-toned command. | | | | |
