From The "Divan." (Translations From The Hebrew Poets Of Medaeval Spain.)
By Emma Lazarus
My thoughts impelled me to the resting-place Where sleep my parents, many a friend and brother. I asked them (no one heard and none replied): "Do ye forsake me, too, oh father, mother?" Then from the grave, without a tongue, these cried, And showed my own place waiting by their side. Moses Ben Esra (About 1100).
