Poem by Carl Sandburg


Finish


Death comes once, let it be easy.
Ring one bell for me once, let it go at that.
Or ring no bell at all, better yet.
 
Sing one song if I die.
Sing John Brown’s Body
or Shout All Over God’s Heaven.
Or sing nothing at all, better yet.
 
Death comes once, let it be easy.



Carl Sandburg
