Why should I cling to misery, and grope

My long, long way from pain to pain, alone?

RUAHMAH: [At his feet.]

Nay, not alone, dear lord, for I am here;

And I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee!

NAAMAN:

What voice is that? The silence of my tomb

Is broken by a ray of music,--whose?

RUAHMAH: [Rising.]

The one who loves thee best in all the world.
