First Line: Not death today, while rain is flung
Last Line: But not today!
Subject(s): Immortality
Not death today, while rain is flung
Across the budding trees' green lace
In drifting veils of silver gauze,
Festooning their divine young grace.
Nor yet today, when sunshine lies
On garden walks in powdered gold
And birds, in crystal streams of song,
Immortal symphonies unfold.
Perhaps, when the last summons comes,
It might be easy to obey
Some other week or month or year,
But not today!
