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

By Solomon Solis Cohen

“I cannot leave thee, husband”

  • “Loving and Loyal were they in their life—
  • And in their death, they were not divided.”
  • David’s lament over Saul and Jonathan.

    • I CANNOT leave thee, husband; in thine arm

    Enfolded, I am safe from all alarm.

    If God hath willed that we should pass, this night,

    Through the dark waters to Eternal Light,

    O let us thank Him with our latest breath

    For welded life and undivided death.
