-Abraham, Abraham, you are old and cannot hear: \
-what if you miss my small voice amongst the creaking \
-of your own grief, kill your son unknowing \
-of what he will be, and commit Israel to nothing?
-
-Abraham, you must know or hope that [God][] \
-will not allow your son to die; you must know \
-that this is a test, but then why \
-are you so bent on Isaac's destruction?  \
-Look at your eyes; there is more than fear \
-there.  I see in your eyes desperation, \
-a manic passion to do right by your God \
-whom you are not able to see or know.
-
-Am I too late?  I [will try][] to stay \
-your old hands, the knife clenched \
-within them, intent on ending life.
-
-Will you hear my small voice amongst the creaking, \
-or will it be the chance bleating of a passing ram?
