Talk:Jerusalem (disambiguation)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Would it be appropriate to have under "See Also" some additional links, for example, to Jerusalem artichoke?

[edit] Name that Tune

I recently found an MP3 of a song called 'Jerusalem' by Vera Lynn. It doesn't fit the description of any of the songs and I wondered if anyone could confirm it is indeed Vera singing it and find out the complete lyrics. The sound is reminiscent of a church hymn via '40s MGM symphony orchestrations.

From listening to the track, the opening verse and chorus are:-

• 'Last night I lay asleeping, there came a dream so fair;
• I stood in old Jerusalem, beside the temple (bare/there)/
• I heard the children singing, and ever as they sang,
• Methought the voice of angels in heaven, in us, rang.
• Methought the voice of angels in heaven, in us, rang.

• Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
• Lift up your gates and sing
• "Hosanah" (spelling uncertain) in the highest,
• "Hosanah" to your king.'

Should there not be an article for 'West Jerusalem' in its own right? Surely even irredentist israelis would acknowledge that there existed between, say 1949 and 1967, an urban entity seperate from East Jerusalem? The example of West Berlin suggests that there is a precedent for mainting the historical record for such an entity even after unification (by whatever means). Boldymumbles 11:55, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
