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

The Fated Race

WHAT! still reject the fated race

Thus long denied repose,

What! madly striving to efface

The rights that Heaven bestows!

Say, flows not in each Jewish vein,

Unchecked, without control,

A tide as pure, as free from stain,

As warms the Christian soul?

Do ye not yet the times discern

That these shall cease to roam;

That Shiloh pledged for their return

Will bring his ransomed home?

Be error quick to darkness hurl’d!

No more with hate pursue,

For He who died to save a world—

Immanuel—was a Jew.
