Explain this plz?

Question

"Night is over, and we children of night must die when dawn comes leaping upon the hills; and out of our ashes a mightier love shall rise. And it shall laugh in the sun, and it shall be deathless."

Answer 1

Perhaps something related to Holocaust survivors?  I need more context.  But, night=death.  dawn=new day

ashes=death/torture/destruction.

So now it's over and those who were in the CCamps see the sun (unseen through the smoke and ashes) and gain new life (sun cultivates life).  

Just guessing.

Answer 2

The following is from the web titled "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran.  Perhaps you may get an idea of what he meant.

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.  For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

Answer 3

Beautiful.

Answer 4

Who wrote this?

Answer 5

Semi-Wise is wrong because Khalil died before the holocaust even happened.  

Although Im not sure but my best guess is it is about how life goes on because of death and the next day after death the sun will rise again.

Answer 6

It sounds like something that would be said in a vampire movie. I think that a vampire is saying this and he/she is trying to  make the other vampires feel better, by giving them hope that though when the sun meets their skin ("...and we children of night must die when dawn comes leaping upon the hills; and out of our ashes...") they will turn to ashes [because the sun, of course "burns" vampires] and though that this will happen, they will be set free from the life they had before in which they had to hide from the sun.

BTW: haha i know my answer probably makes me sound extremely gothic, or like a "vampire freak," i'm not; it's just that that quote really does sound like something a vampire would say. :] though the line "...and out of our ashes a mightier love shall rise. And it shall laugh in the sun, and it shall be deathless." can be applied to human death as well, and it's actually quite an optimistic quote about death overall.
