The Jew: Poem by Isaac Rosenberg

  1. Home
  2. Isaac Rosenberg
  3. Poems

Moses, from whose loins I sprung,
Lit by a lamp in his blood
Ten immutable rules, a moon
For mutable lampless men.

The blonde, the bronze, the ruddy,
With the same heaving blood,
Keep tide to the moon of Moses.
Then why do they sneer at me?
