Said Death
"When I come for you resolutely,
Don't bend before my deadly summons.
Tarry not like a galery slave,
But like a courteous host behave."
Said death.
"When I come for you,
Never lie dreading under the dust.
Know it's only when the seeds rot
That the florid sprouts."
Said death.
"When I come for you,
Strut like an indomitable foe.
With hands swinging and head held high,
To be welcomed by the angles of sky."
