Hatikvah: The Hope of the Star of David

Karl Constantine FOLKES 1935 (Portland)

Free verse
In the Star of David
Dwells the Holy Father
In his eternal sacred residence
With the longing of the Holy Spirit
For the precious return of his Children
And the triumphant entry of his Beloved
His Only Son to restore all mankind to unity.
