Joseph Friedlander, comp. The Standard Book of Jewish Verse. 1917.
By Judah Ha-Levi (Trans. M. Simon)Back, My Soul
Earth is not for thee;
Still in heaven find thy nest;
There thou canst be free.
Look to what thou hast,
Thou amidst the angels’ band
Shar’d the great repast.
Of him who reigneth there,
And in a lordly company
Be thou the courtier.
