Death faces us with its devastating looks of greed.

It comes to us in a thousand different ways;

It visits us at night when the sun has hid its rays;

It greets us at noonday when the sun is high;

No one can escape its ever-vigilant eye;

All the living must yield up to it and die.

Is death a curse, then all the living are cursed;

Is death a blessing, then all the living will be blessed.

It cannot be an evil, nature creates nothing wrong;

And it is only nature while we follow it along.
