on THE ACEQuIA NlApRE

Death has come to visit us today,
He is such a distinguished visitor
Everyone is overcome by his pres
ence--
viii you not sit down-take a chair
But Death stands in the doorway
waiting to depart;
He fingers, like Il breath in the cur
tains.
The whole neighborhood comes to dc
him honor,
Women in black shawls and men in
black sombreros
Sitting motionless against white
washed walls;
And the old men with grey stubby
beard
To whom death came,
Is stunned ito silence.
Death is such a distinguished visitor,
Making even old flesh important.
But who now, l wonder, will take the
old horse to pasture?
