“On the Threshold”— Poet Unknown
I am standing on the threshold of eternity at last.
As reckless of the future as I have been of the past;
I am void of all ambition; I am dead of every hope;
The coil of life is ended; I am letting go the rope.
I have drifted down the stream of life ‘til weary, sore oppressed;
And I’m tired of all the motion and simply want to rest.
I have scanned the whole world over ‘til there’s nothing left to scan.
I have heard the finest music; I have read the rarest books,
I have drunk the finest vintage; I have tasted all the cooks;
I have run the scale of living and have sounded every tone.
There is nothing left to live for and I long to be alone.
Alone and unmolested
Where the vultures do not rave
And the only refuge left me
Is the quiet, placid grave….
