THERE is a day that ends all life for me;
Yet know I not enough for actual dread,
If it shall come in all Eternity,
Or if 'tis past, and I already dead.
I mean the day I look my last on you;
Each time we part I know not if I die,
Though I live on; and Death may wound me to
My human end, and yet not mortally.
