Classic Poem

Forget not, Thou who saidst
“Vengeance is Mine. I will repay.”

Forget not Thou,
God of Compassion! Surely now
The cup of Thy wrath is filled
To overflowing!
(Thou God hear our prayer! Oh, hear us now!)

Is it nothing to Thee, Thou All-Knowing,
That they perish in flame,
Thy children,
While the obscene Beast reviles Thy name,
And vaunts the wrong unspeakable,
Treading them down, mother and babe,
In the blood and spew of his hate?
Is it nothing to Thee?

Thou God who seest all,
Too long we wait!
