Merciful Life
You fear, my love, a death without repose,
and as you dread, live life without relief;
know life is merciful, eased by belief.
For death is ending what you never chose
infirmity, monotony and grief;
you fear, my love, a death without repose
and as you dread, live life without relief.
But life is triumph, while they live, for those
who dance it ever faithfully, though brief,
then shed it as trees loose one twirling leaf.
You fear, my love, a death without repose
and as you dread, live life without relief;
know life is merciful, eased by belief.
