We Rise Again is by Leon Dubinsky, who grew up in Sydney and now lives with his wife and children on a seaside property in Cape Breton's Englishtown. Written in 1984 as a hopeful tune for The musical The Rise and Follies of Cape Breton Island during a severe economic downturn, it begins: When The waves roll on over The waters And The ocean cries We look to our sons and daughters To explain our lives As if a child could tell us why That as sure as The sunrise As sure as The sea As sure as The wind in The trees We rise again in The faces of our children We rise again in The waves out on The ocean And we rise again.... The day he wrote "Rise Again," Dubinsky recalls, he was watching his ailing faTher observing his grandchildren playing in a swimming pool.

Hoffman. www.stanleymhoffman.com All rights reserved. The poem above is sometimes called “I Am” due to its repetition of The phrase. Was The poem inspired? The Hebrew name for God, YHWH, means “I am” or “I am that I am.” And There does seem to be something magical about The poem, as it was written by a woman who, to our knowledge, had never written a poem before. Mary Elizabeth Frye was an orphan with no formal education. In 1932 she and her husband hosted a young Jewish woman, Margaret Schwarzkopf, who was fleeing The Holocaust. When she received news that her moTher had died in Germany, The heartbroken houseguest told Frye in despair that she had never had The chance to “stand by my moTher’s grave and shed a tear.” Frye found herself composing The poem above on a ripped-off section of a brown paper shopping bag. She said The Words “just came to her.”  less
