Death
Death! Oh Death!!
Thou art the leveller
par excellence
Thou who kills without
mirth
Taking all souls from
hence and thence.
Pity is not in thy nature
Cruelity is thy second
name
Thou tread where no
living dare venture
Stealing souls all along
without shame!
Those with father thou
make fatherless
Parents thou suddenly
make barren hags
My friend thou made a
motherless
Wretch who lives
almost in rags!!!
Death! Thou art the end
to all souls
Existing far and near
the four poles!!!
