richard mitchley - charles sorley - such such is death lyrics

Loading...

such, such is death: no triumph: no defeat:
only an empty pail, a slate rubbed clean
a merciful putting away of what has been

and this we know: death is not life, effete
life crushed, the broken pail. we who have seen
so marvellous things know well the end not yet

victor and vanquished are a+one in death:
coward and brave: friend, foe. ghosts do not say
“come, what was your record when you drew breath?”
but a big blot has hid each yesterday
so poor, so manifestly incompletе
and your bright promise, withered long and spеd
is touched, stirs, rises, opens and grows sweet
and blossoms and is you, when you are dead
