As I walked out one May morning dark,
when the sky hung grey and pale,
I met a man in black cloak and hood
and a shadow spread before him.
"Who are you? And why do you pass
through my fields and meadows?"
"My name is Death and I destroy the world.
And I have come to take you.
My name is Death, can not you see?
Kings and Princess bow down unto me.
My name is Death, can not you tell?
Time can not break my spell."
"What have I done to be taken so soon?
A man who never sinned?
What of my wife and children at home?
What of their grief and woe?"
"In the long span of time," the black man said
"your pain it is no matter.
Man is vain and his words are empty.
And now it is time to go.
My name is Death, can not you see?
Lords, Dukes, and Ladies bow down unto me.
My name is Death, can not you tell?
Love can not break my spell."
