"I will not wholly die..."
-- A. Pushkin

In his memory,

I love the winter, when with ardor,
It pecks us with the farewell gusts
And welcomes yet another martyr,--
Another poet back to dust!--
To Mother Earth returns his soul...
He lives in verse, -- abides unbound!
While Lady Death upon the wall
Draws one more stripe to get the count
Of all her winnings for the day.
Oh foolish Death, don’t stir the broth!
He lives in me! And once I stray,
Love will pick up where I left off.

Thank you SEA, he's a famous russian poet... one of my favorites... You've probably heard of his famous work Eugene Onegin before.

Good tribute very well imaged in metaphorical comparison.
