“I cannot leave thee, husband”

By Solomon Solis Cohen

	“Loving and Loyal were they in their life—
	And in their death, they were not divided.”
	David’s lament over Saul and Jonathan.

I CANNOT leave thee, husband; in thine arm
Enfolded, I am safe from all alarm.
If God hath willed that we should pass, this night,
Through the dark waters to Eternal Light,
O let us thank Him with our latest breath	5
For welded life and undivided death.
