Samuel Taylor Coleridge - The Suicide`s Argument
Work rating: High

Ere the birth of my life, if I wished it or no
No question was asked me--it could not be so!
If the life was the question, a thing sent to try
And to live on be YES; what can NO be? to die.

NATURE`S ANSWER

Is`t returned, as `twas sent? Is`t no worse for the wear?
Think first, what you ARE! Call to mind what you WERE!
I gave you innocence, I gave you hope,
Gave health, and genius, and an ample scope,
Return you me guilt, lethargy, despair?
Make out the invent`ry; inspect, compare!
Then die—if die you dare!
