Death & Dying

Death Stands Above Me, Whispering Low

by Walter Savage Landor 1775–1864

From Imaginary Conversations and Poems: A Selection

Death & DyingThe Mind

Death stands above me, whispering low
I know not what into my ear:
Of his strange language all I know
Is, there is not a word of fear.
