SONGS OF EXILE

A people's anguish to the throne of God.
This is God's chosen Minister; this one
Shall lead his people in the righteous way
Towards the triumph.—Yet, 'tis not alone
A picture of the heart's desire for him,
A dream of what a minister must be;
Nay, for the Rabbis in their wisdom gazed
On Rabbi Isaac, Immi's noble son.
