Not peacefully and unaware
of nonexistence imminent—
when death is mine, let me prepare
before I pass to anywhere.
May they be slow, those angels sent
to sever life; for all I care
when I am spent is still to fare
through time that I may true repent
when death is mine. Let me prepare
and say good-bye; and let me bear
pain’s cross and all the life that went
to sever life fore all I care.
My slower death is everywhere
with farewell joy. And what is there
to sever life for? All I care
when death is mine: let me prepare.
