Moaning Dove

A poetic epithet for a dove.

("And their fugitives shall escape and be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, each one for his iniquity" — Ezekiel 7:16; and likewise: "Moaning dove, I will stir up bitter lamentation for you / I will weep, for your ruin is great as the sea / In the bitterness of day I can compare you to none / What shall I liken to you, and comfort you, and comfort you" — Rabbi Israel Najara, "Moaning Dove")
