EIN URALTER SPRUCH, by HEINRICH HEINE Poet's Biography First Line: Most prayers of my childhood days Last Line: Boree peri hagofen. Subject(s): Childhood Memories; Jews; Prayer; Judaism | ||||||||
MOST prayers of my childhood days From memory have fled, No prayer at meals, at rising, Nor when I go to bed. But one I hold in high esteem, And looms in large proportion; My stay it is in happy hours, And staff in my misfortune. And would you know this pray'r of mine, Mosaic interwoven? It is the ancient formula Boree Peri Hagofen. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE RABBI'S SON-IN-LAW by SABINE BARING-GOULD A LITTLE HISTORY by DAVID LEHMAN FOR I WILL CONSIDER YOUR DOG MOLLY by DAVID LEHMAN JEWISH GRAVEYARDS, ITALY by PHILIP LEVINE NATIONAL THOUGHTS by YEHUDA AMICHAI SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#3): 2.
