TARRY a while, O Death, I cannot die <br />While yet my sweet life burgeons with its spring; <br />Fair is my youth, and rich the echoing boughs <br />Where dhadikulas sing. <br /> <br /> <br />Tarry a while, O Death, I cannot die <br />With all my blossoming hopes unharvested, <br />My joys ungarnered, all my songs unsung, <br />And all my tears unshed. <br /> <br /> <br />Tarry a while, till I am satisfied <br />Of love and grief, of earth and altering sky; <br />Till all my human hungers are fulfilled, <br />O Death, I cannot die!<br /><br />Sarojini Naidu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-poet-to-death/
