Rendezvous seeger el
i have a rendezvous with death by alan seger read for librivox.org by newgate novelist i have a rendezvous with death at some disputed barricade when spring comes back with rustling shade and apple blossoms fill the air i have a rendezvous with death when spring brings back blue days and fair it may be he shall take my hand and lead me into his dark land and close my eyes and quench my breath
it may be i shall pass him still i have a rendezvous with death on some scarred slope of battered hill when spring comes round again this year and the first meadow flowers appear God knows, t'were better to be deep Pillowed in silk and scented down
Where love throbs out in blissful sleep Pulse night a pulse, and breath to breath Where hushed awakenings are dear But I've a rendezvous with death At midnight in some flaming town
When spring trips north again this year and i to my pledged word am true i shall not fail that rendezvous end of poem this recording is in the public domain
