Poems by Emma Lazarus
The Banner Of The Jew
... Even they who shrunk, even they who slept, ...
In the Jewish Synagogue at Newport
... With its lone floors where reverent feet once trod ...
Assurance
... Cheek pressed to cheek, the cool, the hot night-breeze ...
The New Colossus
... Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp! cries she ...
Exultation
... "All these for thee, and thou evoked from nothing, ...
By the Waters of Babylon
... Soul of Israel bursts her cobweb sheath, and flies forth attired in the winged beauty of immortality ...
Sic Semper Liberatoribus!
... We stand Bowed earthward, red with shame, to see such wrong ...
The Crowing of the Red Cock
... The flood of tears, the life-blood spilt, ...
Venus of the Louvre
... The foam-born mother of Love, transfixed to stone, ...
The New Year
... Not while the snow-shroud round dead earth is rolled, ...
The New Year. Rosh-Hashanah, 5643
... Carved like the sea-waves, fell, and the world's light ...
The South
... s head. Her wealth, her beauty, and the blight on these, ...
Chopin
... From out whose chords the lightest breeze that blows ...
Destiny
... For by her side just breathed the Prince, her child, ...
Echoes
... Twanging the full-stringed lyre through all its scope ...
