Proud, then, clear-eyed and laughing, go to greet Death as a friend!
For Cambridge people rarely smile, Being urban, squat, and packed with guile.
I have need to busy my heart with quietude.
Canada is a live country - live, but not, like the States, kicking.
I know what things are good: friendship and work and conversation. These I shall have.
Oh! death will find me long before I tire of watching you.
