Noach

Noach


They could have been a band of brothers,

Survivors of a world be-drowned,

But Shem alone, and not the others,

Was close to God, so upward bound.


Brotherly love is not, at the last,

Assurance of spirit in common,

For Yafet followed a middle path,

And Cham, he chose the bottom.


When Aaron and Moshe Rebbeinu synced,

We see a fraternal exception,

The credit belongs to Miriam, I think,

For a sister can disarm dissension.
