---

Zilpah with face of anguish, heart of dread,
And Bilhah grieving for the evil day,
Her hands to God uplifted in dismay.

    Turn, O ye perfect ones,
    Unto your rest again;
    I will fulfil for you
    All that your hearts desire:
    Down unto Babylon
    With you My Presence went;
    Surely will I return
    Your sons’ captivity.
