Deaths leader

Grief
|
The lantern bearer lights the way
For those who no more seize the day
Blind eyes peer out from every head
That crowds the carriage of the dead.
Neither power nor money can halt time's flight
Or stay deaths armies of the night
King and villain, lad and lass,
All answer to the hourglass.
A miser thought to keep his gold
A shield against the coming cold
But what cared Death for mortal gains?
He smiled upon the miser's pains.
A gentle hand will help the dead
To find the way to their last bed,
Who engineers the mortal's end
Will tell you He is Man's best friend.

| Did you really write this because there are a lot of people on the web who claim to have written it. I personally have a Time Life book called "Ghosts" that quotes this poem anonymously that was published the the early 80's. |
