O Dear Death
O Death! All of a sudden you come
To possess your dear one.
A true beloved you are
Who never betray, delay and say
A single word of complaint.
Your loving looks fall on the body
Leaving the soul unstained.
What to do with this life,
If Beauty fails to stir the soul,
The mind moves not to imagine,
The imagination ceases to find words,
The words hurt a humane heart,
The heart harbours any hatred,
And myself left on the mercy of mortals?
Such a lifeless body, O dear Death,
I would offer you to take away.
