O MUSCOVITE, blind is your wrath, with
Your heel on the Israelite's neck,
And your hand on that baleful old blade,
Persecution, 'twere wisdom to reck.
The Pharaoh's calm warning, Beware!
Lo, the Pyramids pierce that grey gloom
Of a desert that is but a waste, by a river
That is but a tomb,
Yet the Hebrew abides and is strong.
