First Line: Who, thinking on death, decides
Last Line: Too long the idle night!
Subject(s): Death; Festivals; Future Life; Rites & Ceremonies; Dead, The; Fairs; Pageants; Retribution; Eternity; After Life


Who, thinking on death, decides
To somehow live, forever,
No longer stops to weigh
The peril of endeavor;
In last year's dwelling gay
No more in peace abides,
Nor lets a new hour stay
Serene in an old delight.
Too slow the flying day!
Too long the idle night!
