THE LAST JOURNEY by LEONIDAS OF TARENTUM

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.
