AHOLIBAMAH: Let them fly!I hear the voice which says that all must die,Sooner than our white-unshaven patriarchs died;And that on highAn sea is prepared,While from belowThe profound will ascend to meet sky overflow.Few will be spared,It appears; and, of that couple of, the race of CainMust lift their eyes to Adams God in vain.Sister! since it is so,And the everlasting LordIn vain would be imploredFor the abatement of one hour of woe,Let us leave even what we have adored,And meet the wave, as we would meet the sword,If not unaffected, yet undismayd,And crying less for us than the individuals who shallSurvive in mortal or eternal thrall,And, when the lethal waters are allayd,Weep for the hordes who can sob no more.Fly, seraphs! to your own everlasting shore,Where winds nor wail nor waters roar.Our partition is to die,And yours to live for ever:But which is ideal, a dead eternity,Or living, is nevertheless known to the incomparable Giver.Obey him, as we will obey;I would not keep this l ife of mine in clayAn hour past his will;Nor see ye lose a bit of his grace,For all the leniency which Seths raceFind still.Fly!And as your pinions bear ye back to heaven,Think that my affection despite everything mounts with thee on high,Samiasa!And in the event that I gaze upward with a tearless eye,Tis that a blessed messengers lady of the hour abhors to weep,â€Farewell! Presently rise, relentless profound!
