Joyous Death

Strange though it may seem

With sin as a flowing stream

Persistent in its ways

You have chosen me in those days.

Oh the things to be grasped

Only to end in fingers rasped.

Good words to those goodly given

Something simple from heaven.

What is this I speak of?

A flighty thing from above?

No, this is here on earth

To give man his worth

And make him ever new

Giving him things not his due.

See that life in strange decay

Going about things in a strange way.

Life is gone, new life now here:

Joyous death without tear.
