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.

She said The words “just came to her.”  less
