PRIEST OF SERAPEUM

My good old father,

whose love for me has never wavered:

I mourn my good old father

who died two days ago, just before dawn.

Jesus Christ, my daily effort is

to maintain the commandments

of your holiest church in each

of my acts, in every word, in every

single thought. And those who deny you

I detest.— But now I mourn;

I wail for my father, Christ,

although he was—dreadful to say—

a priest in the accursed Serapeum.
