Jewish Youth's
LISTENING
By Danny Raskin
A JEWISH REFUGEE SPEAKS
"A place to live away from hate,
a land to call my home.
Where I can ever live in peace
and call my very own.
Where I can work with head held high
to build for future years
A land that's mine, all mine—
a land away from fears.
Where I can gain a due respect
from those who will it no,
To have the Freedom we love so dear
—to hold where e'er I go.
My name? What • matters that,
else that I am a Jew?
And proud of that I am to be,
as are the others too.
I was a nation centuries back,
I am a nation still,
And a nation I will remain
'
so long as its God's will."
—D. R.
