IV. Come lovely and soothing death

from An American Requiem by Chris Massa

/

lyrics

Come lovely and soothing death,
Undulate round the world, serenely arriving, arriving,
In the day, in the night, to all, to each,
Sooner or later delicate death.

… Approach strong deliveress,
When it is so, when you have taken them I joyously sing the dead,
Lost in the loving floating ocean of thee,
Laved in the flood of thy bliss, O death.

—Walt Whitman (1819-1982)
from "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d"
