These are a couple verses from Milton's Paradise lost. The ending actually.
I think it's also best summed up by the Red House Painters song "Fallow You Fallow Me".
You can hear it here. The lyrics are beautiful, and i feel like they really compliment Milton's words , even though the two aren't directly related.
---
They looking back, all th' Eastern side beheld
Of Paradise, so late thir happy seat,
Wav'd over by that flaming Brand, the Gate
With dreadful Faces throng'd and fiery Arms:
Some natural tears they dropp'd, but wip'd them soon;
The World was all before them, where to choose
Thir place of rest, and Providence thir guide:
They hand in hand with wand'ring steps and slow,
Through Eden took thir solitary way.
