AHOLIBAMAH: Let them fly!I hear the voice which says that all must die,Sooner than our white-whiskery 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 unceasing LordIn vain would be imploredFor the reduction 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 howling less for us than the individuals who shallSurvive in mortal or everlasting thrall,And, when the deadly waters are allayd,Weep for the hordes who can sob no more.Fly, seraphs! to your own everlasting shore,Where winds nor cry nor waters roar.Our divide 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 li fe of mine in clayAn hour past his will;Nor see ye lose a segment of his grace,For all the kindness which Seths raceFind still.Fly!And as your pinions bear ye back to heaven,Think that my adoration despite everything mounts with thee on high,Samiasa!And in the event that I turn upward with a tearless eye,Tis that a holy messengers lady hates to weep,â€Farewell! Presently rise, unyielding profound!
