To Death… A toast in tainted wine br Let glasses ring its somber chime br As shadows cast its name in black br To Death we walk… with no path back br br To Death… whose fame has spanned the ages br Only love has penned more pages br Only time outlives its quill br To Death … To Death 'til all is still br br To Death… and to its secret kept br While all who live have stood and wept br To Death… and to its final kiss br I give a life… I shall not miss br br br © JVD 1993br br Jane Van Doebr br
