There are nearly a quarter of a million Jews in the Czar's army alone. (Newspaper clipping)
They have dressed me up in a soldier's dress, With a rifle in my hand,And have sent me bravely forth to shoot My own in a foreign land.
Oh, many shall die for their fields and homes, And many in conquest wild,But I shall die for the fatherland That murdered my little child.
How many hundreds of years ago -- The nations wax and cease! --Did the God of our fathers doom us to bear The flaming message of peace!
We are the mock and the sport of time! Yet why should I complain! --For a Jew that they hung on the bloody cross, He also died in vain.
