SONG OF ISRAEL TO GOD
47
Song of Israel to God
By Jehudah Halevi
MY Love! hast Thou forgotten
Thy rest
Upon my breast?
And wherefore hast Thou sold me
To be enslaved for aye?
Have I not followed Thee upon the way
Of olden time within a land not sown?
Lo! Seir and Mount Paran—nor these alone—
Sinai and Sin—yea these
Be all my witnesses.
For Thee my love was ever,
And mine
Thy grace divine;
And how hast Thou apportioned
