The Modest Rabbi
The Rabbi lay, so gravely ill
His students gathered close and still So much they owed to him, they knew And one by one, their praise they strew "Like Abraham, your faith 's so strong!" "Like Job, you've faced fate's cruel song!" "Like Moses' trust in God you've shown!" "A modern Solomon on his divine throne!" The Rabbi's health, still grim and dire His heart weighed down by unseen mire "You're praised by all, and rightly so" - His wife wished her compassion to show But yet he felt a subtle slight Reflected in his weary sight No mention made, no words in tone Of how humble he'd always shown |
