OLD HEBREW

Wait!

All day some slow dark quadruped beats

To pulp our springiness:

All day some hoofed animal treads our veins,

Leisurely—leisurely our energies flow out:

All agonies created from the first day

Have wandered hungry searching the world for us,

Or they would perish like disused Behemoth.

Is our Messiah one to unleash these agonies

As Moses does, who gives us an Abinoah?
