I WILL NOT FEAR, by                    
First Line: I will not fear my coming shroud
Last Line: Content I am as part of time.
Subject(s): Fear


I will not fear my coming shroud,
But rather will my heart be proud,
If from the pyramiding years
I learn to share another's tears.
No thought of death can terrorize
A soul wherein a great faith lies;
No festering canker gnaws within
The heart impervious to life's din.
The flowers, trees, blue sky above,
Are but the spirit known as love,
Composite picture most sublime --
Content I am as part of time.
