We keep the night for you.
On the plains of Goshen
you kept vigil one dreaded night
in death-thick darkness
you stayed alert, awake on our behalf
though you'd been sleeping four hundred years.
Now we'll keep vigil for you
beyond all millenniums,
if only to say thank you perpetually,
even if we've lost sight
of how our vigil still awaits you
—even now, especially now.
