For Those Who Have Died Eleh Ezkerah—These We Remember ‘Tis a fearful thing To love What death can touch. To love, to hope, to dream, And oh, to lose. A thing for fools, this, Love, But a holy thing, To love what death can touch. For your life has lived in me; Your laugh once lifted me; Your word was a gift to me. To remember this brings painful joy. ‘Tis a human thing, love, A holy thing, To love What death can touch. —JUDAH HALEVI OR EMANUEL OF ROME24
