The Blood of Rachel, a Dramatization of Esther, and Other Poems
Mordecai

Your life

Is forfeited already, child; you are

A Jew.

[15]

Esther

You did conceal my blood nor dare

Reveal my lineage now. Your own deceit

Has brought this death upon the house of Israel,

Nor will Jehovah hold you guiltless in

The hour of doom.

Mordecai

Esther, if you keep

Your peace when Rachel's children wail and cry

For help, deliverance will arise

Unto the Jews but you shall be destroyed

And all your father's house.

Esther

Depart.   [Sound of trumpets within.]

[Sound of trumpets within.]
