QUIET DEATH - ZaunköniG - 09.08.2014 QUIET DEATH To die and be no more, to pass away Like downy mist from off the mountain side, That with the flowing of the roseate tide Goes like a breath into the burning day, Invisible along its azure way, Leading to spaces wherein planets hide ; To cease so smoothly and be quit of pride, And done with all the foibles of this clay, Quit of the drags, the little cold conceits, The fevered weeks of brooding villainies, The despicable plots that cloud the mind, And hopes that ever prove phantasmal cheats So to be rid of these, and more than these, Were to be blessed above the common kind. |
