Robert W Service - ImmortalityRobert W Service - Immortality
Work rating: Low


Full well I trow that when I die         Down drops the curtain; Another show is all my eye         And Betty Martin. I know the score, and with a smile         Of rueful rating, I reckon I am not worth while         Perpetuating.         I hope that God,—if God there be         Of love and glory, Will let me off Eternity,         And end my story. Will count me just a worn-out bit         Of human matter, Who`s done his job or bungled it,         —More like the latter. I did not beg for mortal breath,         Plus hell or Heaven; So let the last pay-off be death,         And call it even. To Nature I will pay my debt         With stoic laughter: But spare me, God, your awful threat         Of Life Here-after!
