Time-servers are the cowering slaves of slaves, <br />Alone on earth, who serves the Lord is free, <br />Each soul shall win the gift that it most craves; <br />Seek God, my soul -- God shall your portion be! <br /> <br />Based on the translation by Solomon Solis-Cohen that's reproduced on pages 376-377 of A Treasury of Jewish Poetry: From Biblical Times to the Present, edited by Nathan and Marynn Ausubel (Crown Publishers, 1957).<br /><br />Yehudah HaLevi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/time-servers/
