Death.

Should I go softly

To my death?

Recline

And say farewell to breath?

Oh no! not me!

I'll roar and howl

I'll scream at death

I'll tear his cowl!

I'll snap his scythe

I'll cast him out

The world shall hear

My final shout.

I've lived this life

In fear and pain

In death,

I'll not take this again.

I'll choose the time

I'll choose the place

I'll leave

With smiles upon my face.

I'll chase the stars

Dance on the moon

A merry jig

To my own tune.

No, softly

I shall never leave,

Nor expect

A soul to grieve,

For I will go

When it suits me,

Then I'll depart

Quite happily.
