LIFE by ALICE BROWN

First Line: WHAT, COMRADE OF A NIGHT
Last Line: MY CHAMPION, DEATH!
Subject(s): LIFE;

WHAT, comrade of a night,
No sooner meet than fight?
Before the word, the blow?
Well, be it so.

Yet think not Thou I yield,
Lost on a lonely field.
Lo! to my fainting breath,
My champion, Death!
