By those that pluck out vehemently |
 |
and those that draw out violently, |
 |
by those that swim serenely |
 |
and those that outstrip suddenly |
 |
by those that direct an affair! |
 |
Upon the day when the first blast shivers |
 |
and the second blast follows it, |
 |
hearts upon that day shall be athrob |
 |
and their eyes shall be humbled. |
 |
They shall say, 'What, are we being restored as we were before? |
 |
What, when we are bones old and wasted?' |
 |
They shall say, 'That then were a losing return!' |
 |
But it shall be only a single scare, |
 |
and behold, they are awakened. |

Hast thou received the story of Moses? |
