OH DEATH!

When you and I go, 

Down lifeless and cold. 

Our faces back to, 

Pure earthly mould. 

We shall be lonely, 

You without me, 

I without you, 

What shall we do? 

It Struck me, 

Total emptiness,

Down deep, 

Making me helpless. 

Oh what cure!

To this debt?

We all are sure, 

To meet death. 

I cannot think, 

You first will die, 

Nor of how you'll weep, 

Should I. 

We are alone ,

What can we do

Match our bodies as clone,

You; me, I; you? 

You may go

On a path of gold, 

While I retire, 

To a sea of silver. 

I cannot summon, 

Through love and through, 

I cannot reach beyond,

Body, to you. 

When we must go, 

Down forever, 

Nothing more to behold, 

But behind us, a closed door. 

Oh Death!, 

Our sure reward, 

Come to us only when, 

We are finally pure.
