| Joseph Friedlander, comp. The Standard Book of Jewish Verse. 1917. | | | | Let Us Forget | | By K. M. |
| | | THE SHORE once won, who counts the waves? | |
| Each hand, each oar, each spar that saves, | |
| Record in heart—enshrine in song; | |
| But all the weary, witless wrong, | |
| Let us forget. | 5 |
| |
| Father forgive them! Thus prayed He, | |
| Who drained the cup of Calvary, | |
| The prisoner of Devil’s Isle | |
| May happy ask—erect the while— | |
| Let us forget. | 10 |
| |
| We “witnesses” to “shew His praise” | |
| Must shew it forth in divers ways, | |
| By light of fame, or light of fires,— | |
| All lower aims—all low desires, | |
| Let us forget. | 15 |
| |
| The France of Picquart, Labori | |
| And Zola. That is the France we see; | |
| The foolish few who basely chose | |
| In honor’s name, dishonor—those | |
| Let us forget. | 20 | | | |
