Death! I know not what room you are abiding in, / But I will go my way, / Rejoicing day by day, / Nor will I flee or stay / For fear I tread the path you may be hiding in.
Death! I know not, if my small barque be nearing you; / But if you are at sea, / Still there my sails float free; / ‘What is to be will be. ' / Nor will I mar the happy voyage by fearing you.
Death! I know not, what hour or spot you wait for me; / My days untroubled flow, / Just trusting on, I go, / For oh, I know, I know, / Death is but Life that holds some glad new fate for me.
