ASKING FOR DEATH.
BY ALPHA.

BY ALPHA.
Yes, have prayed for death!
Ger and DER again,
Young? what matters youth?
Years cannot measure pain.
And there are times in life
When reckon it not a sin
That we sigh for death or wish
Our lives had never been.
When the curse of useless existence
Settles o'er weary me-
When life is always.darkness
And never from sadness free,
When every breath is sorrow
Each moments new care
lift my heart in pleading
Do you wonder at my prayer?
Oh, Father send the darkness
That comes alone with Death
Stilling these throbbing pulses
Easing the. weary BREATH!
The blessed restful darkness
Of the grave and coffin lid,
Rather than lifes' shadaws
The worlds sunshine amid!
Such darkness / would welcome
But if living give me light.
Lest l dim others gladness,
With my life of rayless night.
