Let Death Come.

87 7 5
                                    

Hopeful thee, let death come

before tomorrow,

So that I may have not to confront any sorrow.

Hopeful thee, live today as you can

before twilight,

So that I may have not to burn at thy sight.

Hopeful thee, never expect too much of thy day

before noon giveth way,

So that I may have not to give-in in any say.

Hopeful thee, surprised at the sequence of events

before thou break thy fast,

So that I may have not to let go at last.

Hopeful thee, depressed at thy failing life,

No more time o live any longer, no more time to idle by,

Let death come,

before I shalt know,

And bury my soul, in the iceness of the snow.
