Subject(s): Pity
There goes a man whose life is done.
His back is bent, his mind is old.
The blood of life has left his veins,
His panting, shriveling heart is cold.
Long years he's thought of naught but death;
He seems to want to die and can't.
Perhaps there is too little left.
There goes a man God doesn't want!
