| Joseph Friedlander, comp. The Standard Book of Jewish Verse. 1917. | | | | “Peace and remembrance!” | | By Edna Dean Proctor |
| | | PEACE and remembrance! All the great | |
| Of Israel’s line his brothers are— | |
| Leader and prophet, priest and king; | |
| Aye, and the bright and morning star! | |
| |
| With force and fire and lofty aim | 5 |
| He labored, all his crowded years: | |
| Order from chaos, light from gloom | |
| He brought, and banished narrowing fears. | |
| |
| Nor bronze nor marble rear to him | |
| Whose fame transcends their poor degree! | 10 |
| His deeds are noblest monument; | |
| His life is immortality! | | | | |
