The Reaper's Prayer

Alex Arnot

I am he whom governs death

For when thou taketh thine final breath

Mine shadow rises at thine feet

Thy weak and weary soul to greet

Thou must now leave thy corpse alone

As the mourning lay thy frigid bones

Fear not mine sickle or blackened cloak

For I shall not torment thine ghost

Thy next life beyond this world doth dwell

As requiem bids thy spirit farewell
