Oh Death

Oh death please be my guiding light
through lives bewildering maze.
And show me where it ends at last,
that I shall’nt be surprised.
Please warn me at each turning point,
that all ways lead to thee
For him who does not know before
The risk of foolish spree
Besides, I ask imploringly,
please come to my advice
When I begin activities
that rob my mind its spice
Then too I hope I’m not alone
when old age lasts too long
At last I wish I’ve trained enough
that I have thee outgrown
