Rabbi Zarchi Confronted Maria Ressa, Walked Off Stage Over Her Harvard Commencement Speech
Now blue-eyed Heaven, radiant with smiles,
Bends low and softly kisses earth good night,
Hushing its noisy hum in deep repose,
As a fond mother to her bosom folds
Her babe aweary of its little world, -
Aweary of the joys of sweet child life, -
Circling him with her arms in such embrace
As only mothers give; and, drawing close
The coverlet about his tired form,
Listens the rise and falling of his breath,
Then turns away: and still anon turns back,
When in the cradle fast asleep he lies,
With many lingering glances, fond and sweet.
So Heaven ever and anon looks back
Upon her restless child, the earth, asleep.
