I can hear the drums beating.
A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)
I hear the drums beating.
Show me not your mournful life; it's all one empty dream. The soul is dead and slumbers. Everything is not what it seems. Your life is real, and the grave is not the goal. You return to the dust, and the grave becomes a hole. Enjoyment and sorrow will still be there tomorrow. It's farther away than a day. As we march to the grave, muffled drums are beating. Be a hero; don't fight; just enjoy the rest of your life, and I will still be your wife.
