Joseph Friedlander, comp. The Standard Book of Jewish Verse. 1917.

By Mary M. Cohen

Not by Power

“Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit, saith the lord of hosts.”—Zachariah iv., 6.

NOT by power

Blooms the flower

Of a growth unseen;

Ye shall find it,

Ye shall bind it

On your brows serene.

Not by might

Darkest night

Yields at dawn this prize;

Springing surely,

Slowly, purely,

It shall humbly rise.

Faith is mine,

Love Divine

Is its scented breath;

Faith that brightens,

Cheers, enlightens,

It shall conquer death!
