Death be nimble, <br />Death be quick, <br />Death blow out <br />My mortal wick. <br /> <br />Death and the Woman <br />(After Schubert) <br /> <br />Death was not nimble, <br />Death was not quick, <br />But death blew out <br />Her mortal wick <br />With cancer.<br /><br />Fred Babbin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-m-o-k-jack/
