By Menahem Ben Jacob

A Martyr’s Death

“WHERE is now Elijah’s God?”

When will scoff and scorning end?

Has our God forsaken us?

Higher and higher,

Winged by fire,

Soared Elijah’s sainted soul,

Bliss to earn in spheres of life,

He saw his brethren sorely tried,

And died for them a martyr’s death.
