First Line: With courage seek the kingdom of the dead
Last Line: You cannot miss it, though you shut your eyes.
Subject(s): Death; Dead, The
WITH courage seek the kingdom of the dead;
The path before you lies,
It is not hard to find, nor tread;
No rocks to climb, no lanes to thread;
But broad, and straight, and even still,
And ever gently slopes down-hill;
You cannot miss it, though you shut your eyes.
