| Joseph Friedlander, comp. The Standard Book of Jewish Verse. 1917. | | | | Side by Side | | By Isabella R. Hess |
| | | JEW and Christian, side by side, | |
| They rest in the cool earth’s bosom wide— | |
| Or lying deep where the billows sweep, | |
| In the heart of the great green sea they sleep! | |
| Over them flutters the banner fair, | 5 |
| While a sadness thrills in the Springtide air. | |
| |
| Jew and Christian, side by side, | |
| As men they fought, and as men they died! | |
| Like brothers stood fast at the bugle blast, | |
| Until like brothers they sleep at last. | 10 |
| While over them flutters the banner fair, | |
| And a sadness thrills in the Springtide air. | |
| |
| Jew and Christian, side by side, | |
| For their common country they lived and died, | |
| And they vigil keep, in their dreamless sleep, | 15 |
| O’er the brotherhood that is ours to keep. | |
| While over us flutters the banner fair, | |
| Though a sadness thrills in the Springtide air. | | | | |
