If G-d compel thee to this destiny, To die alone, with none beside thy bed Thinking upon the days long past When you the life of a vagabond led Do you, then, feel the pain of anger Caused by your deeds upon the Earth As you lie there are you in pain Do you fear the man on his way to you Are your eyes dry or do you weep With regret knowing the robed one appears Ready to lead you to your final reward Opening line and title stolen... uh... borrowed from Elizabeth Barrett Browning "A Thought For A Lonely Deathbed "...and as we drift along, I never fail to be astounded by the things we'll do for promises..." |
