John Masefield on Death
← Back to John Masefield Profile
“Death opens unknown doors. It is most grand to die.”
“When Life knocks at the door no one can wait, When Death makes his arrest we have to go.”
“When the last sea is sailed and the last shallow charted, When the last field is reaped and the last harvest stored, When the last fire is out and the last guest departed Grant the last prayer that I shall pray, Be good to me, O Lord.”
