And my brother Jonathan!

If I believe it will not miracle

Alone bring joy again unto my pain?

[The wailing again without, and deeper groans.]

O Israel, the Infinite has touched

Thy glory and it changes to a shroud!

Thy splendor is as vintage overspilt.

For Saul upon the mountains low is lying,

And Jonathan beside him, beautiful

Beyond the mar of battle, and of death.
