FORLORN
Do not die with a lie in your mouth,You that know you’re dying . . . In the night, O the night,While the grave is yawning.
xi.No—you will not die before,Tho’ you’ll ne’er be stronger;You will live till that is born,Then a little longer . . . In the night, O the night,While the Fiend is prowling.
xii.Death and marriage, Death and marriage!Funeral hearses rolling!
