Death strikes twice, the first, when coursing lifeblood stops Upon the second, the spoken name of thine be lost, And time between should not be briefed, But scalpel blade and nimble hands within, abridge, Of all potential generations be stole, a thiefed, No more a babe be at my tender breast, Boneless mouth be torn away, a burned bridge Alas! The conduit be severed full, The songbirds sing upon in their nest Above their chicks, but never I, for I am null The blessed Lord up above, import remembrance βThough time βtwixt the events become short So be me, as long as mouths doth speak Death creeps aforth, upon, and scared, retreats.
