“Joy! joy! Spring hath come!
Bounding o’er the earth,
Laughing in the insect’s hum,
In the flow’ret’s birth.
Ere his spirit springs above,
Summer’s wreath to twine1,
Oh, what joy for me, my love!
Then thou wilt2 be mine!
“Joy! joy! though awhile,
Dearest, we must part,
Warmly will thy sunny smile
Rest upon my heart.
Spring the earth is greeting, love,
With a crown of flowers;
For the hour of meeting, love,
Sweeter hopes are ours.”
So sung, in a rich, mellow3, though somewhat subdued4 voice, a young man, as he stood beneath the window of a grim old mansion5. The sun had but just risen, and sky and earth seemed still bathed in his soft rosy6 glow. Flowers of delicate form and many a brilliant tint7 were gemming8 the greensward, which looked fresh and bright as emerald. Fringed with hoary9 rocks and thick dark woods, lay the deep blue waters of the lovely Rhine, seeming as if the spirits of the early morning had flung on them a rich robe of golden sheen. Even the black forest in the far distance, and the old, apparently10 half-ruinous mansion itself, all but laughed in the glowing light; hailing, as they did, the new birth of nature, as well as that of the day. Spring had, within the last few days, leaped from the arms of winter; and flowers and birds, and earth and sky, welcomed his birth, as with a very jubilee11 of gladness.
The deep seclusion12 of the scene, however, was remarkable13: castles and towns, convents and monasteries14, generally studded the banks of the Rhine, even as early as the close of the eleventh century, the period of our narrative15; but here there was not a habitation of any kind visible, save this one old house and its out-door offices.
It was a Hebrew school or college, the origin of which was so far removed into the past as to be involved in mystery. From its extreme seclusion it had remained undisturbed, when elsewhere every trace of Israels locality had been washed out in blood. Century after century beheld16 it occupied by a succession of venerable teachers, learned in all the mysteries of their law, and faithful to its every ordinance17; by some few Hebrew families who, from being pupils, loved its peaceful seclusion too well to exchange it for the dangers of towns; and by some youths, brought there by anxious parents, or there own will, to learn such lessons as would bid them live to glorify18 their faith, or die to seal its truth with blood.
The young minstrel, whose song we have given, had been one of these pupils since the age of ten, and was about returning to Worms, his native city, to see his widowed mother, from whom he had been parted fourteen years, obtain her blessing19 on his choice (the daughter of one of his teachers), and then return for his betrothed20, either to dwell in this safe retreat or elsewhere, as circumstances might be.
A knapsack was on his shoulder, and in his eager look upward as he sung, his cap had fallen off, and one of those countenances22 which, once seen, rivet23 themselves upon the heart, was fully24 displayed. It was purely25 spiritually noble; expressive26 of every emotion which can elevate and rejoice, and utterly27 devoid28 of that abject29 mien30 and fearful glance, the brand which persecution31 laid on the Israelites of towns.
A sweet face appeared for a minute at the window as the song ceased; a smile whose sunny warmth the poet had, not too glowingly described, a fond wave of the hand, and then the window was tenantless32 again, and the young man turned away, still humming—
“For the hour of meeting, love,
Sweeter hopes are ours;”
when he was joined by the companion for whom he had waited: a man some ten years his senior, dark and stern in aspect, as if every human emotion had been battled with and conquered.
“Joy—hope! Have such words meaning for an Israelite?” he said, bitterly. “Art thou of the doomed33 and outcast race, and canst yet sing in the vain dream of joy? Knowest thou not the fate of Israel, when once looked on by man? The rack, cord, death! Hast thou not heard, that in this new war of the accursed Nazarene, their holy war, the signal for marching is the death-shriek of the slaughtered35 Jews? Spires36, Metz, Cologne, Treves, Presbourg, Prague, ask them the fate of Israel, and sing if thou canst. Ask yonder river, from whose kindly37 waters those who had sought their calm repose38, rather than wait the cruelty of man, were drawn39 forth40 and butchered on the blood-reeking land. Ask yon river the fate of the hundreds who threw themselves within it—and then sing of joy!”
“I do know these things, Arodi,” was the calm reply, though the flushed cheek denoted some feeling of pain. “I know that for Israel there is only such joy as may be resigned at a moment’s call; only such hope as looks beyond this world for perfection and fulfilment. Think you because, with a grateful heart and joyful41 song, I breathed forth a dream of earthly happiness, that I am less fitted than yourself to give up all of joy, hope, and love, if such be the will of God?”
“It cannot be. You love, you are joyful. You have woven sweet dreams, whose destruction will bow you to the dust. Human affections fetter42 your soul to earth. How can it give itself to God?”
“Through the blessings43 He has given; blessings which so fill my heart with love for Him, that without one murmur44 I would resign them at His call.”
“You think so now; beware lest this, too, prove a dream. For me, hope and joy are as far from me as yon blue arch from the cold earth on which I see but my brethren’s blood.”
“Look beyond it, then,” answered Helon, fervently45. “Why should there not be joy for Israel? Dark as is his present, so bright will be his future. As both have been prophesied46, so both will be fulfilled.”
He spoke47 in vain; as well might he have striven to pour forth sunshine on the dark bosom48 of night, as infuse his spirit in the heart of his companion.
Their way being long, and travelling tedious, from the trackless forests and mountain torrents49 which they were repeatedly compelled to cross, they found they had miscalculated their time, and that the solemn festival of the Passover, which they had hoped to celebrate in Worms, would fall some few days before they reached it. Remembering that a kind of hostelry, kept by one of their brethren, lay but a few roods out of their way, they determined50 on abiding51 there till the festival was over.
It was on the fourth day that a man rushed into the court, covered with dust and mud, and so exhausted52 as barely to be able to tell his horrible tale. Massacre53 and outrage54 again menaced the hapless Jews. He stated that, on the first day of Passover, as the procession of the Host had passed down the Jewish quarter of Worms, a cry arose that it had been insulted by two Jews, who had vanished directly afterwards. That, were not the real criminals given up, the whole Jewish population should be exterminated55, without regard to age, sex, or rank. Seven days were allowed them to determine their own fate; a useless delay, for when all were innocent, who could avow56 guilt57? The city gates were closed; not a Jew allowed egress58 from the town, and, at the imminent59 risk of his own life, the bearer of these horrible tidings had alone escaped.
Darker and sterner grew the countenance21 of Arodi, as he heard. He had neither relative nor friend amid the doomed, but once more the curse had fallen on his people, and he burst forth in fearful execration61.
“Ye sang of joy,” he exclaimed, turning fiercely towards Helon, on whose face, though pale as marble, a strange yet beautiful light had fallen. “Sing on! a joyous62 song to greet a mouldering63 home and murdered parent. Ye dared hope—ye dared be joyful—’tis the wrathful voice of the avenger65!”
“Peace, Arodi; they shall yet be saved.”
“Saved! bid the ravening66 wolf release the lamb, the hungry lion his fought-for prey67.” Helon’s sole answer was so thrilling in its low brief words, that Arodi started several paces back, gazing on him, as if he had doubted or understood not the meaning of his words. “Canst thou—wouldst thou—what! resign all?” he rather permitted to fall from his lips than said.
“I do not resign them—’tis but their exchange for bliss68 which is unfading.”
“And Admah—Helon, hast thou thought of her?”
“Thought of her!” and the strong convulsion passing over Helon’s face and frame was indeed sufficient answer. Yet he added calmly, after some minutes’ pause, “For this she, too, would resign me. Her spirit speaks within me, bidding me do what my full soul prompts. What is the happiness of one compared with the lives of hundreds?”
The soul of the dark, stern man shook within him. He battled with emotion for the first time in vain. Falling on Helon’s neck, these words broke forth in sobs69: “Forgive me, oh, forgive me, brother! I despised, contemned71 thee; yet from thee I learn my duty. ‘Whither thou goest, I will go,’ What thou doest, I will do. Brother, make me as thyself.”
But one night intervened, and the wretched Jews of Worms, in the stern stillness of utter despair, awaited their fearful doom34. The festive72 rejoicing which, even in the darkest era of persecution, ever attended the Passover, was changed into deepest mourning. Not one ray of human hope illumined this horrible darkness. The similar fate of hundreds, aye, thousands, even millions, yet rung in their ears. He who alone could save had turned His face in wrath64 from his afflicted73 people. They had but one consolation74, and mothers clasped closer their unconscious babes, and husbands their trembling wives, in the one glad thought that none would be left to lament75 the other—they should die together.
Night fell, calmly and softly; oh who that looked up on those radiant heavens, losing all of earth in the thoughts of the hundreds and hundreds of unknown worlds filling the vast courts of trackless space, can imagine without a shudder76, the mighty77 mass of human passion and human suffering which one little corner of the globe contains? Who that feels for one brief minute the pressure of infinity78 upon his soul, speaking, as it will, in the solemn stillness of spiritual night, can come back to earthly things, without shuddering79 at the awful amount of countless80 cruelties worked by insect man, without feeling that we have indeed
“Need of patient faith below
To clear away the mysteries of such woe81?”
There was one lone60 watcher of the silent night, but he thought not of these things. For above an hour a tall muffled82 figure had been standing83 without the window of a lowly Jewish dwelling84, gazing within, and wrapt up in the strong emotions which the gaze called forth. A lamp was burning on a table, round which a mother and her children sat. Years had passed, long years, since the lone watcher had been among those loved ones, save in dreams; and now, while his whole heart yearned85 to fling himself upon that mother’s neck, and feel her kiss, and claim her blessing—to clasp hands once more with those loved companions of his childhood, now sprung into sweet blooming youth—he dared not follow feeling’s impulse. Better his own heartsick yearning86, the agonized87 throb88 of human love and human fear, than the momentary89 bliss of meeting, to part again for ever.
He had seen the burst of terror, of the wild clinging to life, even such life as theirs, natural to youth, soothed90 by a mother’s prayer. He had seen them twine hand in hand with hers, and lift their bright heads to heaven in that meek91, enduring constancy, the undying attribute of persecuted92 Israel; and then the mother was alone, and the watcher beheld the calm a brief while give way, and natural anguish93 take its place.
“My God! thou wilt spare one,” fell on the hushed air, “my firstborn, first-loved, my beautiful Helon! I had thought to look on him again, but I bless thee that thou hast refused my prayer. Bless him, oh, bless him, Father! my own bright boy!”
Was it her own low sob70 she heard, or its echo, that she so started even from so much grief and looked fearfully round? There seemed a shadow between the window and the faint moonlight, but ere she could trace it to a human form it had gone.
The morning was clothed in dull, leaden clouds; and, flocking from their dwellings94, as was their wont95, on the seventh day of Passover, in holiday attire96, and with composed appearance, every Jewish family sought the synagogue. Divine service commenced, proceeded, and was concluded without interruption. Scarcely, however, had they reached the outer court to return to their homes, than fearful shouts smote97 the ear, waxing louder, hoarser98, more terrible with every passing moment. On came the infuriated crowd, a dark impenetrable phalanx, increasing in every street, and fearfully illumined with blazing torches held aloft; blades gleaming in the red flame; clubs, axes, pitchforks, every weapon that first came to hand. On they came, wrought99 into yet wilder frenzy100, yet deeper thirst for human blood, by their own mad shouts, and the lurid101 flames that, as they rushed down the Jewish quarter, marked their progress. And how stood their victims? So firm, so motionless in the shadow of their house of prayer, that even the wild mob, when they first beheld them, fell back a moment powerless. Formed in a compact square, woman, children, and tottering102 age in the centre, youth and manhood stood around, with arms folded and head erect103; not a limb, not a muscle moved; not a sound broke forth, even when their fiendish foes104 poured down and faced them. It was an awful pause; lasting105 not a minute, yet seeming to be hours; and then, with brandished106 arms and wilder cries, they rushed on to the work of death.
“Back!” exclaimed a voice not loud nor stern, but so thrillingly distinct and sweet, that it was heard by every individual of both parties, and involuntarily compelled obedience107. “Back!—touch not the innocent. Ye have demanded the criminals, BEHOLD108 THEM! Ye have sworn their lives shall suffice—take them, torture them as ye list; but touch not, on your peril109, touch not these!”
Two strangers stood suddenly between the murderers and the victims, as the unknown voice spake, the one in the loveliest bloom of youth, the other in manhood’s prime. With an appalling110 yell of disappointed malice111, hate, and aggravated112 wrath, the fierce crowd rushed forwards, and closed round the voluntary martyrs113. And here we pause, for how may the pen linger on the horrible tortures, the agonizing114 death inflicted115 on these noble men; or the horror of the stunned116 yet liberated117 Israelites, in being forced by their tormentors to witness the fate of their preservers? Yet no groan118 escaped the victims, to glut119 the long pent-up fury of their foes; no word to reveal to their brethren whence they came or who they were, or that they had spoken but to save.
The poet’s prophecy was fulfilled: “Ere spring had changed to summer,” Helon and his faithful Admah had met again, where hope was lost in fulfilment, temporal joy in an eternity120 of bliss. The summer flowers had twined their clinging tendrils round a lowly tomb of pure white marble in the grave-yard of that old mansion, Helon’s home so long, and half hiding the single word “Admah” with their radiant clusters, whispered in sweet breath to the passing breeze the bliss of a pure spirit, so early freed from the detaining fetters121 of a broken heart.
To this day the names of the martyrs rest unknown; but the two lamps still kept burning to their memory, in the synagogue of Worms, testify the truth of this fearful tale, and bear witness to a faith, a self-devotedness in scorned and hated Israel, unsurpassed in the annals of the world!
